cumulus::CyberLab provides remote collaborative instrument use, secure managed data storage and sensor access.

It is a unified system composed of many nodes [read more].  Each node adds resources that the system can use and provide as services to users and other systems.

You can mix-and-match any combination of nodes to create a system that fits your exact needs – and the nodes can be placed anywhere on your network or they can stack to reduce their footprint.

Add more nodes incrementally as your needs grow – expanding when and how to fit your needs.

nodes discover and assemble with other nodes creating the cumulus::CyberLab private cloud where all elements work together providing unified security, greater resiliency andperformance as a whole.

nodes can be linked directly to improve their performance and offload network traffic from the lab’s network.

A typical install  would include:

• 1 InstrumentNode : Provides remote, collaborative access to an instrument [read more]
• 1 SensorNode : Provides remote, collaborative streaming and snapshots of sensor data [read more]
• 1 StorageNode : Provides 4TB of secure, managed data storage [read more]

Typical Deployment

In this diagram a lab has secure, remote, collaborative access to three instruments by connecting them to InstrumentNodes.  Two pan/tilt video cameras were attached to SensorNodes providing real-time and archived snapshots of experiments.   Each instrument also has 1 StorageNode (4TB model) so the lab has remote, collaborative access to 12TB of secure managed storage.
