Heavy Networking 691: Why OOB Infrastructure Is Critical For IT Ops & Automation
Packet Pushers recently sat down with Blake Johnson (Living Spaces) and Rene Neumann (ZPE Systems) to look at how ZPE Systems is rethinking Out of Band so you can leverage this network for more than rebooting servers and configuring switches. The goal here is automated, NetOps-driven Integrated Isolated Management Infrastructure (IIMI), including things like device staging, deployments, upgrades, and more. And you don’t just have to take ZPE’s word for it.
