Out of Band Access
Remote IT management can be realized through the use of out-of-band management tools, which provide secure, alternate paths to remotely access, monitor and manage IT assets throughout the network infrastructure. If an IT asset goes down, out-of-band management tools can remotely restore it to the network infrastructure, where it can be managed back to productivity in the shortest time possible. Out of-band management tools minimize the need for local management and site visits, dramatically reducing the time and operational costs needed to bring IT assets back online. The relationship between the network infrastructure and out-of-band management tools is typically configured similar to the topology shown in figure below.
