Secure Console Server - Hack-Resistant Out of Band Management for Remote Network Devices
Savvy network administrators know that the easiest way to deal with problems at remote network sites, is to include a console server installed on a secondary, maintenance network. The console server can then be contacted via the maintenance network in order to provide an out of band management avenue that allows communication with troublesome remote network elements when the main network is down.
WTI Secure Console Servers include a formidable array of security and authentication features to ensure that access to vital network functions stays safe from unauthorized personnel yet easilly accessible to your network support staff.
