Who needs a Console Server & Power Hybrid?

Companies of all sizes from SMB to Enterprise all need to manage their IT equipment and have a backup for when broadband goes down - while rare, it does happen. Problematic routers or firewalls that tend to freeze and don't have built in reboot features can also benefit from having separate PDUs to force a power cycle. Similarly, some devices can crash so that accessing via the network is impossible so that the best option is connect with a dialup modem through a console port into the command line interface to do basic troubleshooting so that access via the network can be re-established.

Many have branch locations or offices around the world may not have IT personnel to manage them for hands on maintenance when the normal network connection goes down or is interrupted. Users still need to be able to access the network data and the IT admins need to be able to troubleshoot remotely without the need for a truckroll. Every company needs to be back up and running as quickly as possible - we understand your mission critical needs. The USRobotics Console Server & Power Hybrid combines both the console server and power switch into one powerful tool that can save space, time, and money.
