ZPE NodeGrid USB
Mobility labs are simplified with ZPE’s NodeGrid USB. It was the norm for a mobile development lab to have three separate solutions: storage, server, and a means to power test devices. Now with ZPE’s NodeGrid USB, that’s no longer the case. Power, Server and storage have merged into a single 2U solution, geared towards mobile development and testing.
MobilIty labs usually consist of different types of USB hubs and power bricks, in combination with a storage and server solution. Power to devices, servers for network access and config, storage for logging and metrics. These builds though imperative to the labs, are expensive and not the most optimal.
