Kappa Data expands its portfolio with ZPE Systems solutions.

This gives resellers and end customers access to the full Nodegrid portfolio – including hardware, software, and cloud services. It is an important step toward modern, resilient, and fully automated IT environments.

Why is out-of-band management crucial?

Out-of-band management is an independent channel for IT infrastructure control. It enables access to devices even when the production network is unavailable or compromised. This way, companies can avoid costly downtime.

Such an approach is vital in industries that demand the highest availability and security. Manufacturing, banking, energy, and healthcare – in all these sectors, out-of-band management ensures business continuity.

What’s more, regulations such as NIS2 and ISO27001 emphasize the need for OOB solutions. They ensure compliance, audit trails, and secure logging.

Nodegrid – the third generation of OOB

Nodegrid solutions from ZPE Systems represent the third generation of OOB tools. They are distinguished by:

• open architecture,

• full automation,

• enterprise-grade security.

Nodegrid hardware is based on the open Linux system and vendor-neutral Intel platforms.
This eliminates dependence on a single supplier and gives companies the freedom to choose.

In addition, rich API libraries and support for multiple programming languages make it easy to integrate solutions with existing systems. Nodegrid also enables running external applications, virtual machines, and Docker containers. As a result, out-of-band management becomes a hub of innovation, automation, and full control.

Support for partners and customers

As a value-added distributor, Kappa Data not only delivers technology. We support resellers and their customers at every stage of implementation. Thanks to the partnership with ZPE Systems, it is now possible to transition to more resilient and fully automated IT environments.

That is why the new out-of-band management solutions in Kappa Data’s portfolio represent an opportunity for faster recovery in the event of failures and easier compliance with regulatory requirements.

Summary

The new partnership between Kappa Data and ZPE Systems is a response to the growing need for out-of-band management. It is a technology that not only protects against the effects of downtime but also supports automation and IT infrastructure security.
