Node Deployment

Intro to deploying Trustgrid Nodes

Nodes are available in two form factors:

  • Appliance - This is a combination of a fully managed operating system and Trustgrid software pre-installed.
  • Agent - This is a software package that can installed on supported operating systems. Users can install additional software and configure the operating system as needed.
