Black Box’s console servers are managed using a Virtual Central Management System (VCMS). VCMS offers centralized, secure, end-to-end OOB management and proactive alerting regardless of remote WAN or LAN health status. The VCMS portal enables you to manage large numbers of console servers over a wide geographic area, even globally, from a single screen. You can search managed devices by name, no matter how they’re connected, and sort results by geography, application or managed device type. VCMS gives you the ability to pinpoint failed devices and address issues quickly, minimizing downtime and the impact on your operations.
Another advantage of VCMS is its scalable administration and automation, from day one provisioning to routine operations and disaster recovery. Even networks with thousands of servers, switches and routers and hundreds of console servers can be managed from anywhere from a single, secure portal.
Console servers are a good solution for large distributed enterprises with multiple branches — such as banks, insurance companies, hospitals, utilities, military divisions and school systems — that do not have servers and IT staff on-site. Within these enterprises, certain events create opportunities to include console servers in the network infrastructure.
Console servers can save you time and money by ensuring high availability of your IT systems and safeguarding your business continuity. Remote management and troubleshooting provide for quick disaster recovery after power outages, and they eliminate the need to send personnel on-site in response to issues—saving you additional costs in time and travel. For security, OOB management integrates with VPN and authentication systems and extends enterprise security policy to distributed assets. Console servers are also a scalable solution. Regardless of the size of your network, you can access devices, monitor status and troubleshoot issues from anywhere through a single VCMS portal.
If your distributed enterprise demands high network availability for mission-critical infrastructure, out-of-band management with console servers is an excellent enhancement to your NMS system. For more information, read about Black Box's console servers.
