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. They’ve brought a customer who’s using the products to help support a retail business with more than fifty sites–all with a very lean networking team.

To accommodate rapid business growth, the retailer sought a branch networking solution that they could scale quickly and manage easily.
