Perle IOLAN SCG LWM Console Servers provide data center managers with secure out-of-band console management of any device with a serial RJ45 or USB console port.
When network administrators need to monitor, manage, troubleshoot, or reboot critical IT assets, they will generally access the devices directly over an Ethernet network. However, when continuous uptime is expected, this single point of access is not enough. All data centers need a secure, dedicated alternate access method into the IT network infrastructure to administer connected devices and assets without using the corporate LAN. This is the only way to gain access to critical equipment when the network is down or a device is turned off, in sleep mode, hibernating, or otherwise inaccessible.
