You Have Seen The Warnings: Your Next IT Outage Could Be Worse
TechNative, Monday, May 26th, 2025
It's the middle of the night and your Network Operations Centre (NOC) is on the other end of the call saying everything is down for a customer.
You know you need to get an engineer there to fix it but the nearest is hours away. The customer is terrified of disruption and you are hoping this is all just a nightmare.
While this may be an extreme case, it raises an important question: how can you prepare for a scenario like this? The answer may lie in out-of-band management - a critical yet often overlooked aspect of data centre design that enables teams to access and control critical remote infrastructure, even during outages or cyber incidents.
