Downtime can be very costly to your business when IT equipment goes offline. Outages in the IT field are a common feature, some are planned and others unexpected. Unplanned downtime results in revenue lost, customer dissatisfaction and repairs which can have a detrimental effect on your business.

Out of band management or OOBM provides access and management of IT infrastructure when the production network is unavailable. The Lantonix SLC 8000 can reduce response times for outages and support local network repairs or upgrades.

To determine your requirements for OOBM you will need to consider a few questions such as what devices require 24/7 access and whether OOBM would save you money eg by replacing the need to send staff to remote sites.
