Taking efficiency to another level through better processes
There is a clear need to get more done while using fewer resources, and the DCIM movement emphasizes this necessity across the data center sector. However, maximizing efficiency isn't just about using infrastructure and facility resources as efficiently as possible, it is also about using the people who manage the data center effectively. This means avoiding waste that is created in manual processes. For example, eliminating the trips that IT workers take to data centers in branch offices. These types of procedural inefficiencies create costs in many ways, and they need to be avoided if organizations want to truly optimize their IT operations.
Console management plays a key role in this process optimization function by enabling secure, remote management of data center configurations, letting IT solve data center problems or complete key changes regardless of their location.

Plus, they are the only truly fault tolerant Console Servers on the market with the advanced security functionality needed to easily perform secure remote data center management and out-of-band management of IT assets from anywhere in the world.
