SHADOW PLATFORM
An end‑to‑end flow for hosting, accessing, and auditing high‑value hardware programs. SHADOW links a secure lab network with a hosted platform that provisions devices, containers, and user environments for remote testing.
Architecture at a glance
The platform spans three layers: the lab network, platform services, and access orchestration.
LAB NETWORK
Instrumented DUTs with power control and managed hubs.
Controller scripts coordinate interfaces and device state.
Isolated lab networking for safe remote access.
PLATFORM SERVICES
Container registry and build pipeline for toolchains.
Program management, approvals, and device inventory.
Logs and telemetry for session visibility.
ACCESS LAYER
User environment servers for remote sessions.
Reservation system and time‑bound access windows.
API/MQTT orchestration with audit trails.
Program lifecycle
From intake to reporting, SHADOW standardizes each operational step.
[STEP 1]
Intake hardware and verify scope.
[STEP 2]
Provision lab space and interface hardware.
[STEP 3]
Configure containers, tools, and access policies.
[STEP 4]
Run sessions with monitoring and controls.
[STEP 5]
Collect logs, triage artifacts, and reports.
