Vapor IO is an Austin, Texas edge computing company that builds and operates the Kinetic Grid, a carrier-neutral network of micro modular data centers offering edge colocation, interconnection, networking and network-delivered AI across dozens of US markets and, through a Cellnex partnership, into Europe. Its public, machine-readable developer surface is the open source Synse platform, published under the vapor-ware GitHub organization: Synse Server, a uniform HTTP and WebSocket API for monitoring and controlling physical and virtual devices (data center equipment, IoT devices, building management systems, edge hardware), and the Synse plugin gRPC API, whose Protocol Buffers contract is published in full. Protocol-specific plugins cover IPMI, SNMP, Modbus over TCP/IP, Intel AMT and Juniper JTI, with Go and Python SDKs, a Go CLI, Helm charts and Docker images. Kinetic Grid Portal telemetry is described as API-accessible but is documented only to customers.
