Does your network put you to work?
We think you deserve something better.
No matter how distributed your enterprise may be, difficult network solutions make you work hard. But finding a fix is easier said than done. With so many devices & systems to maintain, your small amount of spare time goes to finding workarounds and picking up the slack.
That’s why we’re all about Zero Point Energy
Zero Point Energy is the lowest possible energy that a system may have. Why is that our name? Because we think you deserve to access and control your critical IT systems with zero effort. And that’s why from the beginning, we’ve developed vendor-neutral solutions that integrate with your environments, no matter how unique or evolving they may be.
As we gained deployment opportunities, we found that success came from our ability to provide a platform for pain-free global network operations at scale. Our platform — which enables flexible remote access, automation, and third-party software integration — seamlessly ties together hybrid, multi-vendor infrastructure to create what we call the Zero Pain Ecosystem.
This ecosystem stretches from data center to edge and cloud, and comes together through our generation 3 out-of-band serial consoles, modular services routers, and SaaS offerings. Integrate partner products and third-party solutions of your choice, from power management systems to next-gen firewalls and custom applications. Bring it all together in harmony using any orchestration tools you’re familiar with, for efficient, secure service delivery from your IT infrastructure.
From gaining secure remote access to faraway sites, to having the freedom to customize the entire automation pipeline, our Zero Pain Ecosystem helps 6 of 10 top global tech giants and many large enterprises boost uptime through better infrastructure management. We’re on a mission to enable reliable and secure critical IT for enterprises across the globe.

Why ZPE Systems?
Your network is as unique as you are.
Having worked as engineers for the industry’s top companies like Avocent, Cyclades, and Emerson, our founders know how critical it is to have custom-fit networking. Coupled with their innovation-driven philosophy, this led them to invent the first Linux-based ‘break safe’ console servers, develop universal access appliances, and put IPMI inside industry-leading servers.
Everything we do revolves around helping the people behind the network. That’s why in 2013, we assembled a team having more than 100 years of combined networking experience.
We quickly developed patented, vendor-neutral hardware & software to bring our vision to life — and bring you convenient control of all your systems.
