EdgeKinect OnPrem
Secure, Private, Full-Control Edge Monitoring for Mission-Critical Environments
Introduction
EdgeKinect OnPrem delivers all the features of the EdgeKinect platform, housed entirely within a secured, private network. Designed for organizations that prioritize data sovereignty, compliance, or have strict internal policies against cloud-based solutions, OnPrem ensures you retain full control over your infrastructure and data flow.
Key Features
1. Closed-Network Deployment
Run EdgeKinect on local servers, maintaining complete data isolation from external networks. Ideal for industries with high security demands (defense, energy, pharmaceuticals).
2. Full Feature Parity
Enjoy the same sensor management, SCADA integration, and analytics tools as the Cloud version. No feature sacrifices—OnPrem is a direct mirror of EdgeKinect's capabilities.
3. Enhanced Security
Encrypted data channels, role-based access control, and integration with existing corporate identity providers (LDAP, Active Directory). Perfect for meeting regulations like HIPAA, GDPR, or country-specific data residency laws.
4. SCADA & Protocol Hub
OnPrem handles real-time control tasks reliably, with direct connections to PLCs, RTUs, or industrial sensors. Minimizes latency for mission-critical processes, since data stays local.
5. Custom Maintenance & Upgrades
You decide when and how to implement updates, patches, or hardware migrations. Minimizes operational disruptions by scheduling changes around your production cycles.
How It Works
- Server Installation: Deploy the EdgeKinect OnPrem software on your local hardware or a private data center VM.
- Network Configuration: Set up internal routing, firewalls, and any necessary domain controllers to ensure device traffic remains contained.
- Local Data Storage: All sensor readings, configurations, and analytics data are stored on servers you control—no external backups required (unless desired).
- User Access & Security: Administrators handle user authentication (LDAP, AD) within the closed network, ensuring robust multi-layer security.
Example Use Cases
Utilities & Energy Providers
Monitor substations or power plants while keeping control system data fully private.
Pharmaceutical R&D
Maintain strict security over sensitive lab equipment data, ensuring compliance with industry regulations.
Government & Defense
Host intelligence or security-related sensor data behind firewalls, with zero public cloud exposure.
EdgeKinect OnPrem delivers the best of both worlds: advanced edge monitoring and industrial protocol integration, combined with complete data sovereignty. For organizations needing tight security, regulatory compliance, or who simply prefer to keep operations in-house, OnPrem ensures the full power of EdgeKinect stays within your own walls.
