Government-Grade Security for Commercial Networks

Adam Cady

Commercial enterprises and managed service providers now operate under federal-level expectations for availability, security, and recovery—without federal-grade infrastructure. As outages, cyber events, and regulatory scrutiny increase, traditional in-band management models expose a critical flaw: when the production network fails, management access fails with it.

Communication Devices, Inc. (CDI) addresses this gap with the PA200 Series Out-of-Band Management platform, a commercial solution derived directly from CDI’s long-standing federal deployments. Built on the same architectural principles trusted by U.S. government agencies, the PA200 delivers encrypted management access, isolated control planes, and secure remote operations—independent of the production network’s state.

By enabling secure serial console access, remote power control, and centralized visibility during outages, the PA200 significantly reduces mean time to repair, operational risk, and reliance on physical site visits. For regulated and frequently targeted industries—including Energy, Utilities, Financial Services, Healthcare, Insurance, and MSP environments—this architecture ensures engineers retain control when it matters most.

Resilience is not achieved through redundancy alone. It is achieved through architectural intent. The PA200 Series brings federal-grade resilience to commercial networks that can no longer afford fragile management designs.
