The Perle IOLAN SCG LWM Console Server is a hardware solution that provides Out-of-Band (OOB) access to securely reboot ITequipment<br />
that has crashed or been powered down during network outages. The core idea is to preserve 24/7 network uptime by<br />
establishing secure direct access to the USB, RS232, or Ethernet console management port of critical IT assets like routers, switches,<br />
firewalls, servers, power, storage, and telecom appliances.<br />
Disruption and downtime are minimised by providing better visibility of the physical environment and the physical status of equipment. This<br />
ensures business continuity through improved uptime and efficiencies.<br />
