One of the greatest challenges to any service provider is the maintenance of continuous and economical service regardless of weather conditions and power irregularities. Keeping equipment running reliably at remote equipment sites is mission critical.
Out-of-Band (OOB) access enables the data center personnel to access remote equipment sites during times when the primary network access is not available. Traditional network management systems can fall short because they work in-band, over Ethernet or a broadband satellite connection. If that connection goes down, that site goes down, and no management data will be collected or reported.
Out-of-Band remote site management solutions provide the data center with alternative paths to remotely managed devices independent of the primary network. These solutions provide an alternate route to the management port of each device for troubleshooting, reconfiguration, and rebooting. These alternative routes provide emergency access methods independent of the primary network used or being monitored such as a LAN/WAN system.
Join us for this FREE webinar Tuesday, January 29th at 11:00am PST (2:00pm EDT) as Asentria provides you with an overview of benefits and advantages of incorporating Out-of-Band capabilities within your network to support remote equipment sites. We will also discuss how Asentria's remote site solutions deliver comprehensive OOB capabilities.

Benefits of having a unified network management system with Out-of-Band access:
- Provide the data center with greater visibility and real-time information via alarm isolation and automated response capabilities that can reduce or even eliminate truck rolls.
- Provide greater information prior to dispatching a field technician - saving time, money and resources.
- Enable most routine system maintenance and upgrades to be accomplished remotely.
- Deliver prompt repair services by resolving problems in minutes, compared to hours or days.
- Avoid failures from poorly performing equipment that threaten end-user service expectations.
- Enable better control to predict the performance of remote infrastructure.
- Automatically receive alert responses due to equipment and power failure, inconsistent equipment operation and environmental conditions.
