Console management can help companies leverage colocation effectively

Console servers can be attached to the network, allowing any device that is connected to be controlled remotely through a central application. This service can be delivered to central consoles within the data center or to remote devices, such as computers in the office or an IT manager's mobile phone. The end result is a situation in which IT managers can respond to problems immediately when they arise instead of having to travel to the data center. If a server goes down, the console server system can be used to adjust the configuration. Alternately, the solution can be used to adjust cooling distribution in the event that hot spots are causing problems in the data center.

Console management systems can work with almostalmost every aspect of a data center, making them incredibly value for any situation in which IT leaders are responsible for overseeing a remote data center. As a service model, colocation delivers incredible value by offering facility and network resources that many companies cannot afford on their own. The downside is having to manage hardware housed in a remote location. Console management eliminates this limitation and helps organizations maximize the value of the technological strategy.
