Endian Switchboard

Das Endian Switchboard ist das Herzstück der Endian Secure Digital Platform. Als zentrales Steuerungselement ermöglicht es einen sicheren Fernzugriff auf die Geräte vor Ort, Datenerfassung und- Visualisierung, Edge Computing und ein leistungsstarkes Management von Benutzer- und Geräteberechtigungen. Das Switchboard ist ein On-Premise Lösung und somit überall einsetzbar. Gleichzeitig bietet das Switchboard integrierte Sicherheitsfunktionen über die gesamte Plattform hinweg.
