An
IOLAN SCR Console Server at every IT
location, used in combination with
PerleVIEW deployed
in the cloud or on premise, provides secure remote device access and
management through a single application. This powerful monitoring and
management tool offers a robust suite of intuitive automation tools that
empower administrators to seamlessly scale deployments, edit configurations,
update firmware, monitor system health, schedule tasks, and automate routine
actions – all from the comfort of your preferred location and device.
Perle Network
Assist
is also an excellent option for busy IT managers who want a
free Windows-based desktop application to efficiently configure, monitor, and

Optional Global Cellular Integration

Models with integrated Cellular protect your data center and
branch office out-of-band management infrastructure against wired LAN failure.
It can also transmit serial data or establish a direct serial-to-serial peer
connection over cellular networks. This is ideal when devices are located where
hardwired Ethernet connections are not available but cellular networks, with
their affordable data packages, are accessible.

Built-in PerleARMOR™ security shield

PerleARMOR™ is a robust set of standards-based security
features integrated into every IOLAN SCR Console Server. Perle is committed to
the standards and regulations that industries require for device security,
identity, and data privacy.

• Secure
      Boot:
  By ensuring that the IOLAN SCR boots using only trusted
      software user can have confidence that malware and rootkits cannot
      compromise the integrity or security of the device. It provides a robust
      defense against a variety of threats, supports regulatory compliance, and
      maintains device integrity.
  


• Protect
      against unauthorized access:
  Two-factor authentication
      (2FA),
  IEEE
      802.1x
  , and support for AAA
      protocols like TACACS+, Radius with RADSec, and LDAP
  enable
      integration with enterprise-grade systems.
  


• Trusted
      Platform Module (TPM) 2.0
  provides hardware-based encryption,
      secure key storage, platform integrity, and compliance with security
      regulations.
  


• Secure
      Internet Transmissions:
  The IOLAN SCR ensures the integrity of
      data flowing across the network by only accepting signed and encrypted
      files through secured tunnels.
  


• Secure
      Remote Access:
  Create a secure tunnel using OpenVPN or
      IPSec to ensure your confidential data is protected and secure
  


• The
      built-in firewall
  offers intuitive policies to protect inside
      networks from unauthorized access. The firewall also allows inside
      networks to be separated from each other. If there are network resources
      that need to be available to an outside user, such as a web or FTP server,
      these resources can be placed on a separate network behind the firewall in
      a demilitarized zone (DMZ).
  


• Enable
      or disable physical ports and specific protocols to limit the attack
      surface, control the types of traffic that can flow through your network,
      reduce congestion, and meet regulatory requirements.
  


• FIPS
      140-2 Software version:
  for compliance with US and Canadian
      Federal Government regulations for protecting sensitive information.
  

Other Key Features:

• Zero
      Touch Provisioning (ZTP):
  Simplifies configuration,
      administration, and deployment, eliminating the need for on-site technical
      support while saving time and reducing errors.
  


• Easy
      Network Integration: full IPv4/IPv6 routing capabilities with extensive
      protocol support, including VRRP, RIP, OSPF, and BGP.
  


• Flexible
      Deployment:
  1U form factor with up to 4 x Uplink ports and dual AC
      power inputs
  ensure uninterrupted operation through redundancy
      and reliability
  


• Automated
      Network Recovery: Utilize rules-based automation to detect, analyze, and
      resolve network issues swiftly and efficiently.
  


• TrueSerial^® Technology: Ensures
      authentic serial connections across Ethernet, maintaining protocol
      integrity.
  


• Cloud
      Hosting
  -- Deploy and manage your network from the cloud


• NERC CIP –
      Compliance Features
  

Virtualization & Edge Computing Tools

As infrastructures expand, there is a massive global demand
for more processing power at the network edge. This requires advanced equipment
with built-in functionality to run distributed tasks without being dependent on
a connection to a central host.

IOLAN SCR Console Servers, with
native support for
OCI Containers and virtual machines (VMs)
, enable users to optimize edge
computing processing capabilities by deploying applications tailored to suit
unique or evolving use cases with low latency and real-time responsiveness. One
of the main advantages of this solution is the ability to deploy custom
third-party applications in a container or a VM that runs tasks and performs
intelligent actions closer to the source without obstructing the core
functionality of the IOLAN Console Server. Perle's OCI Containers are based on
the Docker platform and support public and private container registries such as
Docker Hub, Amazon ECR, Opencontainers, GitHub, BuildKit, Podman, and Buildah.
The VMs are well suited for complex applications that require a fully
dedicated, isolated OS environment to run on the IOLAN to help IT departments
optimize their infrastructure and improve operational efficiency.

For
advanced automation, the IOLAN SCR x86
CPU can easily run your own application, including
Python scripts
inside Docker or a VM
, for custom automation of tasks like collecting
statistics and reconfiguring devices for more efficient network management.
