Introduction to Nodegrid Manager

Nodegrid Manager or Nodegrid Platform is the network operating system that streamlines the management of data center IT infrastructure, providing network engineers and system administrators with a unified interface for accessing and controlling managed devices. A managed device is any physical or virtual device configured under Nodegrid Manager for access and control. The Nodegrid Manager provides a unified solution to control compute, network, storage, and smart power assets. With Nodegrid Manager, you gain secure, centralized out-of-band management of remote devices, enhancing efficiency and minimizing Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) when integrated with existing serial console servers, service processors, PDUs, UPSs, and KVM/IP devices.
