Nodegrid Mini SR™ Edge Gateway Compact for IoT/OT/IOMD applications

NodegridTM Mini Services Router (MSR) brings versatility in a tiny package. Approximately the size of an iPhone, the MSR is your out-of-band cloud gateway to connect, isolate, and control critical devices at remote locations. This fan-less edge gateway is compact enough to install in remote manufacturing and commercial buildings or even SCADA environments, and can connect directly to devices using its Gigabit interface, thereby isolating them from the rest of the network.

  • Reduce CAPEX and OPEX expenses with a consolidated, extensible solution and automated management
  • Reduce downtime and trips to remote locations with instant remote access
  • Minimize MTTR (mean time to resolution), downtime and expenses with secure, centralized remote device access and control
  • Increase site reliability with open industry standard hardware and easy-to-use software

Cloud managed edge gateway for compact network automation capabilities

The ZPE Cloud platform is used to manage the Mini SR and extend automation to all connected IoT/OT devices. The Mini SR enables automation over an out-of-band connection using Wi-Fi, LTE, or Ethernet and creates secure IPsec tunnels to private firewalls or public SASE/SSE destinations. Using ZPE Cloud automation – or even third-party orchestration – you can also deploy edge workloads like VMs, Docker containers, and applications such as third-party firewalls and vulnerability scanners.

In summary, the Mini SR edge gateway compact platform can:

→   Simplify IoT/OT connectivity
→   Provide secure out-of-band management
→   Isolate devices
→   Host and run on-premises edge applications
→   Easily deploy and manage edge networks

Mini SR is preloaded with Nodegrid OS, which combines zero touch provisioning (ZTP) from ZPE Cloud, out-of-band management and third-party guest OS, custom applications, and Docker, Kubernetes, and LXC containers.

MSR has two optional SKUs to connect to the Internet via cellular and Wi-Fi client mode, serving as a platform to securely connect devices at the edge only to the services they need access to.
