HyperMatrix - Advanced Connectivity Services

HyperMatrix's secure connectivity is based creating an strong point-to-point encrypted stream of data between the computer of an Accessing user and the Target accessed Device reached via a Hardware box, The HyperNode hat acts as a local point of presence performing hardware based encryption and decryption activities to reach securely the target device.

The two actors are:

The Hyperclient, a software suite running on the user accessing PC, responsible to authenticate the user on the HyperServer and to provide virtual serial ports and virtual network devices to create a transparent connection between the access application and the encrypted stream of data.
The HyperNode, sitting next to the device to be serviced providing the hardware based encryption services and the physical ports and connections necessary to handle all sorts of activities on the target device in full security.

HyperNode can offer different interfaces to handle different kind of devices and necessities

Serial port Console based devices
The HyperNode can be connected to a serial port of the device to be accessed allowing true remote physical console access.
On the user accessing side, upon connection, a virtual serial port will be created on the user PC, allowing to run the maintenance application of the device to control, as the user was physically connected to the Console of the remote device.
All communication between the HyperNode are strongly encrypted using the highest standard of security.

LAN based devices
The HyperNode can be used to access a device via a LAN port.
The HyperNode can be connected to a dedicated maintenance LAN port of the device via a dedicated LAN port on the HyperNode creating a physical separation between the local area network and the target device. This way only encrypted data is visible on the local LAN creating a de-facto end to end encryption path between the accessing user and the accessed device. On the user side, upon connection, a virtual IP address will be created and an on-demand VPN will be established between the user and the HyperNode itself.
The HyperNode will forward all requests made by the user’s application to the device on the programmed service, creating a remote connection functionally comparable to a local one. The HyperNode can be also used to access several devices sitting on a local LAN where a end to end encryption is not deemed necessary.

KVM based access
To allow full control of a remote computer a KVM interface has been fitted on the HyperNode KVM. The KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) interface permits to gain full control of any server or PC down to the BIOS level because the video is digitized and sent over to the accessing user via an encrypted IP connection. The path used to send/receive all the data is still the encrypted one described before and used for all other connection services.
Extra features provided by the HyperNode KVM is the capability of saving a “file” of the connection session performed by the user that can then be replayed if necessary for any reasons. The control of the PC/Server is complete.
It is even possible to re-boot the PC/SERVER from a remote CD/DVD places on the computer of the accessing user. All session can be recorded including Console access, LAN SSH access.
