Scott D. Lowe speak about OOB Management

In this 5 1/2 minute video Scott D. Lowe, CEO of ActualTech Media, talks about the importance of Out-of-Band Management to keep organizations’ IT up and running from anywhere even when your IT team isn’t available. He talks through some of the benefits of automation in OOBM and how using an alternate communications path enables functions to engage more quickly and precisely resulting in:

  • Reduced complexity of network infrastructure, increasing efficiency, and shortening deployment times
  • Improved business continuity as consistent higher levels of service are delivered and failures are detected proactively
  • Greater business agility by expediting time to market when deploying new applications and services, improving ROI
  • He touches on how network automation supports programmatic behavior of network activities, which is on the forefront of AI, machine learning, IoT, and advanced data analytics.
  • Zero touch provisioning provides speed, accuracy, scalability needed for legal and regulatory compliance.
  • OOBM is helping organizations provide a consistent and coherent view of their network health, stability, and performance.

Demo: Orchestrate Branch Network Devices Using Nodegrid

What if you could orchestrate branch networks your way?

Many providers tout easy branch network device orchestration. But 9 times out of 10, vendor lock-in traps you into using specific tools. You’re left unable to orchestrate from end to end, and you don’t get full remote access to end devices. This means you don’t have everything you need to successfully manage branch networks and prevent downtime.

In this demo, Solutions Architect Rene Neumann shows you how simple it is to orchestrate branch networks using Nodegrid. Use standard orchestration tools like AWX or Ansible, and gain access to all of your branch network devices through one convenient interface.

Don’t forget to check out our video about automatic deployments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoiXL…

Rene will show you how to push a full device configuration to a factory-default Nodegrid device: This includes configuring multiple network interfaces, including #VLANs . This also lets you configure a wide range of target devices, like switches, PDUs, IoT from many vendors.

You can also gain access to all management tools via Nodegrid, through one interface.

What does all this mean? You get branch network deployments and management that are on your terms. Use your choice of orchestration tools, and go from completely unconfigured to up and ready — automatically.

Demo: Deploy Networks Fast with ZPE Cloud’s Zero Touch Provisioning

Did you know you can provision branch networks automatically via the #cloud? You don’t need to put specialized staff on site or spend days doing manual CLI configurations.

You can perform #ZeroTouchProvisioning 100% via ZPE Cloud. You don’t have to preconfigure devices and risk sensitive info falling into the wrong hands.

Join Solutions Architect Rene Neumann as he walks you through how simple it is to push base configurations to Nodegrid appliances, which sets you up to automate the rest of your deployment.

  • Discover and automatically enroll new devices
  • Push base configurations and custom scripts to devices
  • Set up firewall rules and prep to provision end devices

ZPE Cloud not only serves as your configuration file repository for zero touch provisioning, but it also gives you remote access to your global sites. Watch the demo to see how quickly you can access and manage devices using only your web browser.

Demo: Fully Provision Edge Network Workloads with Nodegrid

Demo: Fully Provision Edge Network Workloads with Nodegrid

Deploying edge networks is difficult, especially when you need to provision all your end devices.

Even if you use a #ZeroTouchProvisioning solution, you’re still limited to specific vendor solutions and devices. You also need to preconfigure at least a few appliances, which puts your sensitive info at risk. You’re not saving as much time or resources as you could if you had a full orchestration pipeline.

In this demo, Solutions Architect Rene Neumann shows you how Nodegrid and ZPE Cloud help you fully provision edge networks. Using AWX, Ansible, or other common automation tools, you can:

  • Provision bare-metal servers
  • Use Docker to set up environments
  • Configure a variety of devices regardless of vendor

All Nodegrid appliances feature a wide range of tools to help you provision end devices. You can connect to target devices, host orchestration files and scripts, and orchestrate your entire edge network deployments, including compute workloads.

You finally get the freedom you need to automate edge networks from end to end, without being stifled by vendor lock-in. Keep your sensitive info secure with bare-metal provisioning, and gain convenient remote access to your end devices.
