In modern industrial networking, managing large fleets of routers efficiently is a critical challenge. Organizations require a solution that ensures reliability, security, and ease of use while reducing manual effort. icom Router Management (iRM) is designed to address these needs by providing a centralized, scalable platform for managing industrial routers in diverse and distributed environments.
Overview
icom Router Management (iRM) is a device management solution that simplifies the configuration, monitoring, and maintenance of INSYS icom routers. It enables businesses to manage their entire router infrastructure from a single interface, ensuring consistent security, performance, and compliance with company policies.
Designed for industrial, energy, and critical infrastructure sectors, iRM provides a secure, automated, and highly scalable environment to handle extensive fleets of routers. Whether deployed in cloud or on-premise, iRM helps organizations reduce operational complexity, improve security, and maintain high uptime.
Key Features
Centralized Router Management
iRM provides a single point of control for managing multiple routers across an organization. The dashboard displays all connected devices, including their status, firmware versions, and location, ensuring real-time visibility into network health.
Bulk Configuration and Updates
Managing routers at scale requires efficient configuration deployment. iRM allows administrators to:
Apply bulk updates to router configurations, reducing manual effort.
Use predefined configuration templates to ensure consistency.
Deploy firmware updates, security patches, and software upgrades across multiple devices simultaneously.
Automation and Scheduling
To enhance efficiency, iRM offers automation capabilities, including:
Scheduled updates for firmware and configurations.
Automated deployment processes that reduce human errors.
Real-Time Monitoring and Alerts
Maintaining a stable network requires continuous monitoring. iRM provides:
Live status tracking of routers, including online status, firmware versions, geo-location, and update job history for efficient management and compliance.
Detailed audit trail to track configuration changes, ensure regulatory compliance, and enhance security by identifying potential threats or unauthorized access.
Integration with External Systems
Organizations often use a combination of management tools. iRM supports integration via an Application Programming Interface (API), allowing businesses to:
Connect iRM with existing IT infrastructure.
Automate workflows with custom scripts.
Exchange data with third-party security, monitoring, and analytics tools.
Deployment Flexibility: Cloud and On-Premise
iRM is available in multiple deployment options, allowing organizations to choose the best fit for their operational needs:
Cloud Solution:
Ideal for companies seeking easy remote access, scalability, and minimal IT overhead. The cloud deployment offers automatic updates, high availability, and seamless integration with external systems. It enables businesses to manage their router fleet from anywhere, ensuring fast setup and minimal maintenance efforts. This variant is fully hosted and managed by INSYS icom.On-Premise Installation:
Designed for industries that require greater control, enhanced security, and strict compliance with regulatory frameworks, including KRITIS (Critical Infrastructure Protection) and other high-security environments. The on-premise version provides full data ownership and the ability to operate without dependence on external cloud services. This is particularly advantageous for sectors like energy, utilities, and industrial automation, where network security, operational stability, and regulatory compliance are paramount.
By offering both cloud and on-premise deployment options, iRM ensures that organizations can select the model that best aligns with their security, scalability, and operational requirements.
