In today's competitive environment, it's imperative to ensure network connections at distributed enterprises have adequate backup across all locations.
Understand the Value of Out-of-Band Management (OOBM)
Enterprise routers are typically a single point of failure and may require an update, or sometimes just a reboot. Having OOBM capability allows network administrators to log in to routers remotely to perform configuration updates or reset commands. Once initial problems on an enterprise router have been resolved, network administrators can manage other network-connected devices. For branch locations, where little or no IT support exists, there are significant cost savings by eliminating the need for remote service calls by a technician.
