Out of Band Management That Keeps You in Control During Network Outages
Modern out-of-band management (OOBM) that keeps you connected to critical infrastructure, even during full outages.
When primary networks go down, many traditional access tools fail with them. IT teams lose visibility, recovery slows, and downtime becomes more costly than it should be.
ZPE delivers a modern OOBM platform designed to keep you connected to routers, switches, firewalls, servers, and edge devices during full network outages. More than basic console access, ZPE enables secure remote management, automation, and centralized control across distributed environments.
The Risk of Relying on In-Band Access Alone
Many organizations still depend on in-band management tools or legacy console servers that assume the network is available. When it is not, access disappears at the exact moment it is needed most.
Without reliable out of band network management, teams face:
– Extended downtime during outages
– Delayed troubleshooting and recovery
– Increased reliance on onsite staff
– Higher operational costs and risk
Secure OOBM solution access should not stop at emergency login. It should help teams resolve issues faster and prevent them from escalating in the first place.
Modern Out-of-Band Management for Distributed Infrastructure
ZPE delivers secure remote management solutions built for today’s data center, edge environments and remote sites.
With ZPE, IT teams can securely monitor, manage, and automate infrastructure without being physically onsite and without relying on primary network connectivity. This approach supports faster recovery, consistent access controls, and scalable operations across all locations.
More Than a Traditional Serial Console
Basic serial consoles are designed for break-glass access during an outage. ZPE goes further by delivering a full OOBM platform designed for operational efficiency and scale.
ZPE enables organizations to:
– Maintain secure out-of-band access during complete network failures
– Automate provisioning, recovery, and configuration workflows
– Apply Zero Trust principles to infrastructure access
– Centralize visibility across all connected devices and locations
– Reduce truck rolls, human error, and manual intervention
This is out of band management for modern IT operations, not just emergency access.
Why Out of Band Management Matters
Organizations adopt out-of-band management solutions to:
– Access and control infrastructure during network outages
– Reduce downtime and mean time to resolution (MTTR)
– Strengthen Zero Trust security posture
– Simplify remote deployment and troubleshooting
– Support edge computing and remote sites at scale
