Datacenter Trends: November 2007

Darret Hart, a Data Center Infrastructure Consultant at DirectNET, discusses best practices in remote server management, including the use of service processors in remote management solutions.

Q. How do most of our customers currently access and manage their servers?

A. Our clients access and manage their servers in several different ways, including using KVM over IP, Console Servers, Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), Virtual Network Computing (VNC), Terminal Services, and SNMP in conjunction with integrated onboard technologies/service processors. Many customers also take advantage of centralized server management platforms that allow them to effectively control all of their datacenter equipment from a single interface, providing a unified point of entry.
