Console servers are an ideal match to colocation's rise

This leaves organizations needing to find a way to connect the data center assets they directly control with cloud systems. The process can prove to be an integration and performance nightmare unless handled well, and colocation is emerging as an ideal solution. This works for a few reasons, not least of which being that many cloud hosting providers also offer colocation services, making it easier for organizations to align their systems with a single provider. However, becoming more dependent on colocation means having to manage IT infrastructure that is operating in a remote facility.

Dealing with remote IT challenges
Console management solutions are an ideal option when organizations must maintain IT systems in a remote location. Console servers can provide a secure link between IT managers and the data center, allowing them to perform key maintenance operations and configuration changes through a central control application. This can make it much easier to use colocation services and help companies maximize the value of the cloud.
