By Max BurkhalterJune 18, 2013
With big data creating new operational challenges, IT leaders are left dealing with bustling server environments, overloaded networks and extremely complex storage setups that can be incredible demanding. The end result of this situation is data center sprawl - a circumstance in which you are facing an incredibly large and varied data center footprint that can be almost impossible to manage. This is where console servers can pay off.
Using console management to deal with data center sprawl
Console server systems provide remote management of data center assets. While this may sound simple, the actual applications of the technology can be incredibly varied. Console management can be used, for example, for a straightforward remote management function. If you are visiting a branch office in a foreign market to provide IT guidance when a data center problem arises, console servers allow you to make the adjustments necessary. Conversely, you could be managed a large, complex data center and use console management to make configuration changes quickly and efficiently, countering data center sprawl and supporting big data systems more effectively.
