Rajant’s Cowbell is a high-performance, industrial-grade hub. Thanks to its user-friendly interface, this state-of-the-art solution simplifies the deployment and orchestration of your Al applications with a single click.
The system incorporates Wearable/loT Hub and Device Management, seamlessly integrating wireless (like BT and WiFi) and wired peripherals (such as Serial/ETH). The out-of-the-box support for data pipelines with MQTT/ROS allows for modern data exchange. This native Q-Stat wearable provisioning and support are embedded, accompanied by a dedicated Ul for managing peripherals and deploying applications with RBAC.
Packed in a rugged industrial-grade IP-rated enclosure, the Cowbell is a versatile platform perfect for indoor and outdoor use. It constitutes a powerful multi-core CPU and GPU with a plethora of wired (Serial, Ethernet) and wireless (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, LoRa, Rajant Kinetic Mesh) connectivity interfaces and high-speed storage enabling ingestion, hardware-accelerated processing, and network-resilient transfer of multi-modal data from disparate sensors and peripherals.
Applications deployed on the Cowbell can leverage the platform’s microservices-based software architecture and foundational services to serve custom machine learning models and facilitate dynamically configurable data pipelines. This state-of-the-art solution provides all the necessary data APIs to bring customers’ own (containerized or non-containerized) applications into the platform. It automates their deployment and orchestration to ensure availability.
Rajant’s Kinetic Mesh ensures secure network transport and complete network isolation when needed. Hence, data remains encrypted, both at rest and during transport. Plus, for those seeking a higher level of protection, an inline NSA-grade security module add-on is available. The Cowbell offers an integrated centralized cluster and applications management plane with a simple user interface, providing a seamless cluster provisioning, management, and application deployment experience. Secure remote access is enabled by a lightweight zero-trust VPN solution.
Take advantage of the application-level logs, cluster- and node-level resource consumption metrics, and other dashboards for full observability of the health of the cluster and applications.
