Cyber Security for Data Centers
Classic and Advanced Out-of-Band Management
With unpredictable network outages, failed firmware updates, misconfigurations, increasing cyber-attacks, natural disasters, as well as more distributed or even unreachable remote sites, the monitoring and management of modern IT infrastructures face several critical operational risks. Adding in the evolution of distributed computing, AI workloads, and edge deployments towards zero-touch deployment, automation and it becomes apparent how important reliable, responsive, manageable, and less susceptible to human error, IT management tools are required to be.
Our customizable out-of-band (OOB) management solutions for data centers and security-critical enterprise applications can provide a centralized, more automized and always-available control management system. With these advanced OOB management systems, IT administrators can recover, diagnose and analyze their systems more intelligently, even without a running operating system or physical access.
With In-Band Management, classic out-of-band management, and advanced out-of-band management (LM-Series), users can utilize three different standards of security and convenience in data center and enterprise management.
IN-Band Management
In-Band-Management encompasses the management and monitoring of all servers and other data center infrastructure via the same primary network used for all data and application traffic. Therefore in-band management requires the primary network to access the operating system for administrative tasks as well as proximity to the managed data center or enterprise. As the least costly option with the simplest implementation, In-Band-Management is particularly suitable for use cases requiring limited resilience.
OUT-OF-BAND MANAGEMENT (OOB)
Classic Out-of-Band provides access to data center or enterprise network infrastructure through a dedicated management network or serial interface, isolated from the primary network. This allows for remote console access to perform firmware updates and troubleshoot or reboot in emergency cases. Since the data center equipment can be managed independently even if the primary network is down, OOB console servers can be vital for operational stability in case of network infrastructure problems.
Advanced Out-Of-Band-Management (LM-Series)
Designed as a central component of advanced and automated network infrastructure management, the AI-driven out-of-band console servers of the Lantronix LM-Series can automatically address basic issues and support the solution of more complex problems with necessary functions and tools for administrators. With remote console access for e.g. firmware updates, data analysis, or recovery tasks, the LM Series reduces the need for onsite intervention.
Advanced OOB Console Servers of the LM-Series serve as a critical extension of network management for reliable automation and provide an AI-supported operational insurance policy for remote data center maintenance and recovery.
