FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ZPE Systems, the industry-first provider of Software Defined Infrastructure Access & Control solution, today emerged from stealth mode and unveiled its Infrastructure Management technology for delivering on-demand anytime, anywhere access to infrastructure. Founded by Arnaldo Zimmermann, President & CEO, and Livio Ceci, Vice President of Engineering, ZPE Systems is focused on delivering Infrastructure Access and Control on complex, multi-vendor physical and virtual Server, Storage and Network Infrastructures. The company’s NodeGrid Platform allows organizations of all sizes to deliver rapid zero-day infrastructure configuration, access and management of these systems.
“I’ve been in the data center industry for about 20 years,” said Gaylen Brown, Sr. Data Center Project Manager at Google. “In that time, I’ve spent a majority of my time managing large & small Data Center and IT Projects. The diverse background gave me an appreciation for the immense challenges that exist in managing IT infrastructure. Virtualization and High Density make it even harder to operate and manage the infrastructure from Day Zero Provisioning to providing access and control over the infrastructure. I was very pleased to learn that this long term problem is being addressed by ZPE Systems taking a multivendor software centric approach.”
