However, enterprises across the spectrum implement out-of-band because it\u2019s crucial to keeping networks running.<\/p>\n<p>Out-of-band (OOB) gives you an isolated access path to your network\u2019s assets. When it\u2019s time to make routine updates, implement configuration changes, or address network threats, OOB is your secure line for administration. You don\u2019t have to put your main network at risk or interrupt service. And with modern OOB solutions like Nodegrid, you can give support staff convenient remote access. No more rolling a truck for issues like resetting a password or updating firmware \u2014 you can do it all even from half a world away.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Here\u2019s a recap video explaining Out-of-Band Management:<\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_video src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PJAGio0Ob1Q&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Along with OOB, you should also think about automation and consolidation when considering network design. Together, these three solutions bring you significant benefits like time and cost savings:<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Out-of-band gives you remote access to your infrastructure. Think about no longer having to roll a truck every time a device needs to be rebooted, a patch installed, or a configuration rolled back. This can save you tremendously on support costs, boost response times, and help you maintain network &amp; business continuity.<\/li>\n<li>Network automation lets you automate critical tasks. When it comes to deploying new locations, you can take advantage of zero touch provisioning and get a network that builds itself. This helps you allocate resources more efficiently (i.e. let staff provision remotely instead of having to coordinate expensive travel plans &amp; on-site work). You can also automate ongoing tasks and even non-routine work, saving you even more time &amp; money on support.<\/li>\n<li>Consolidation using all-in-one devices helps you save on CAPEX, rack space, and energy. Instead of having to deploy several devices to deliver failover, Wi-FI access, switching, routing, etc., you can use consolidated appliances. This can significantly reduce your stack, deployment costs, and support expenses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><h3>How does Nodegrid improve network design?<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p>ZPE Systems\u2019 Nodegrid is pioneering network design capabilities that weren\u2019t available until just a few years ago. And as you\u2019ll see with this case study, we\u2019re reinventing networking with possibilities that network engineers only dreamed of until recently.<\/p>\n<p>Nodegrid\u2019s advanced out-of-band gives you remote access without slow modems and phone lines. It takes advantage of fast broadband over WAN, and is even supported by cellular failover paths. So even if all your other network connections suffer an outage, Nodegrid\u2019s out-of-band gives you continuous access to your infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Nodegrid also supports custom automation via the most popular automation tools. Not only can you use zero touch provisioning and make configuration management a breeze, but you can also deploy your own in-house applications for seamless integration.\n<\/p>\n<p>On top of all this, Nodegrid features all-in-one devices that let you wield the power of consolidation. In fact, you can replace up to six devices using the Nodegrid Services Router, which is a powerful appliance for converged infrastructure and features capabilities like switching, routing, cellular failover, and more.<\/p>\n<p>But don\u2019t just take our word for it.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; link_option_url=&#8221;https:\/\/zpesystems.com\/Resources\/CaseStudies\/Surprise%20Savings%20for%20a%20Major%20E-Commerce%20Company.pdf&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Here\u2019s how Nodegrid improved a major retailer\u2019s network design<\/h3>\n<p>When a Fortune 500 business needed out-of-band at its distribution centers, they were faced with drawbacks. Traditional thinking meant they would install a network switch and an out-of-band device at each MDF. But Nodegrid came along and completely reimagined their network design.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of wasting rack space, energy, and CAPEX &amp; OPEX by implementing a traditional solution, the Nodegrid Services Router was deployed and helped save across the board. Without expanding their stack, the e-commerce giant got an all-in-one device with serial and networking capabilities that allowed them to gain full control of MDFs and IDF closets.<\/p>\n<p>Out-of-band and consolidation were vital components of the implementation. But a major key would be seamless integration with the company\u2019s automation-heavy environment. Nodegrid\u2019s open, automation-friendly platform fit right into their network, and they deployed their proprietary kick-off application with ease.<\/p>\n<p>Want to get the full story? You\u2019ll get the details about how Nodegrid streamlined network design to deliver savings, convenient management, and customer satisfaction.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/zpesystems.com\/Resources\/CaseStudies\/Surprise%20Savings%20for%20a%20Major%20E-Commerce%20Company.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download the case study now!<\/a>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Out-of-band management is a critical component of network design.
