Challenge
In today’s information age, keeping IT infrastructures fully operational while supporting business goals has never
been more important. With the IT infrastructure evolving to include geographically dispersed data centres
comprised of hundreds or thousands of IT assets, the cost of maintaining these assets can become overwhelming.
To reduce operational costs and ensure round-the-clock service availability, you need effective and reliable out-of-
band management to securely access, diagnose and restore disconnected or failed IT assets quickly.
Avocent Solution
Business stops when the IT production network is down or an IT asset is not responding. In-band management
tools alone cannot correct the problem. Administrators often need out-of-band management tools to troubleshoot
and restore IT assets across the enterprise, whether these assets are close at hand or remote. Out-of-band manage-
ment tools by Avocent include Cyclades
