Discover Network Management Card
Remote monitoring and visibility across your IT infrastructure is mission critical
Running your business without remote monitoring exposes you to unexpected issues and downtime.
The Schneider Electric Network Management Card (NMC) enables essential and secure remote monitoring and management of your critical power and cooling infrastructure.
Connecting your devices will improve the availability, resiliency and efficiency of your power infrastructure systems and the IT workloads they support.
What a Network Management Card can do for you
Don’t compromise security for connectivity
Remote visibility requires connecting power and cooling devices to the network opening potential avenues for attack. Staying ahead of these highly sophisticated threats requires cutting-edge cybersecurity measures and continuous action from both vendors and those responsible for IT infrastructure. Schneider Electric is leading the industry with best practices and certifications to significantly reduce the risk of cybersecurity breaches and enhance overall physical infrastructure security.
Bolster your Cybersecurity strategy
Our new Secure NMC System (SNS) protects your business by ensuring your connected devices are secure from unknown threats, compliant with changing regulations and resilient for the entirety of your hardware’s life.
To ensure the NMC of your 3-Phase PDU has the latest firmware, your NMC includes a 1-year Secure NMC subscription.
The subscription is activated at time of installation by your Schneider Electric service expert.
