Out-Of-Band Management Is Now In

The changing field of IT and computers helps businesses accomplish monumental tasks relatively easily. An IT management concept that is becoming more popular is that of out-of-band management or lights out management (LOM). With the use of con server software and hardware, IT administrators can manage a network of computers remotely whether the machines are turned on or not. This can give managers even more flexibility than before with traditional channels for network machine management.

Businesses need to manage computers for a variety of reasons. Consumers know about the maintenance, updates, and installations that are necessary to keep their computers updated and maximizing their benefit. Businesses must do the same kinds of tasks to keep networks of computers functioning properly and for them to remain useful. Before the days of console server technology, managing a computer network was a very tedious task.

Updates of operating system software come through daily and updating one computer is difficult enough. Many businesses maintain thousands of computers, many of which may be nowhere close to the company itself. Con server software and hardware enables managers to initiate updates on machines remotely and out-of-band management techniques enable them to do it while masses of employees are no longer using machines such as at night. LOM also allows administrators to avoid sluggish network speeds on traditional channels by performing procedures during nonpeak hours or avoiding Ethernet connections all together.

Customer information has become very sensitive and very valuable. Many individuals have learned that it can be profitable, although illegal, to steal the information of others. As a result, companies have had to be ever vigilant in managing customer data and keeping it protected. As the work force of companies grow, it becomes more important for customer data to be managed appropriately so that it can be accessed universally. Whenever a customer calls with an issue or to buy something, any employee in the organization can look up customer data and know as much about that person as if they had helped them in the past. Con server technology including software and hardware components makes this possible.

Out-of-band management has also been instrumental in situations where unexpected and catastrophic events have damaged equipment. For instance, companies with satellite offices in disaster prone areas of the world can retrieve sensitive data through dedicated management channels even if equipment has been damaged by severe weather conditions.

As business becomes more dependent on computer and software technology to facilitate what it does, hardware and software components get more advanced. Con server technology helps businesses and other entities perform procedures remotely and without needing machines to be turned on. Out-of-band management is also becoming an increasingly popular IT administration technique for companies large and small.
