Main Features
  • Device On-Boarding: Simplifies the connection of devices to netFIELD.io.
  • Network Configuration: Supports LAN, WiFi, and WAN settings, including firewall configurations like NAT and port-forwarding.
  • Resource Monitoring: Provides tools for monitoring system resources.
  • Storage Access: Supports network-attached storage access via iSCSI Targets and NFS.
  • Firmware Updates: Allows for local or remote updates for security and functionality enhancements.
  • Security: Includes a private key infrastructure for certificate management and secure logging.
  • Remote Access: Facilitates remote access to the local Device Manager UI and connected OT network devices.
  • Plugin Support: Supports configuration of application containers through plugins.

netFIELD OS Datacenter
netFIELD OS can run natively on hardware or as a virtual appliance in environments like VMware or KVM. This flexibility allows for shared hardware resources, high availability, and access to remote storage systems. It supports distributed scenarios with central management via the netFIELD Cloud or other cloud providers.

Advantages
  • Hardware resource sharing with guest systems.
  • High availability and reliability strategies.
  • Hardware independence for guest applications.
  • Access to remote storage systems with redundancy.
  • Contribution to Green IT initiatives.

Technical Characteristics
