LIVING ON THE EDGE
Keeping Your Network Running at Remote Sites
Even the most reliable and rugged devices still have the potential to fail perhaps having their configuration or firmware corrupted rendering them out of service At this point a remote site is now offline and expert IT networking resources are not available Having a warm body at every remote site to check system health is both impractical and costly Rolling out trucks Is another option but does not provide the visibility of the problem until the team arrives on-site which leads to expensive delays
Further exacerbating the problem is the proliferation of IoT as we see more devices being connected to the network These previously simple remote sites have now evolved into high-density networks integrating key data and services via the cloud Sustained outages can therefore cause loss of business and reduced cash flow Redundancy is one solution to prevent a total shutdown but it does not provide the tools necessary to fix a network Quickly returning a system to its primary configuration via Out-of-band removes the need for expensive site visits to remediate and minimizes the likelihood of a reduction in services
Whether youre responsible for the network at a retail store a regional office or new branch
location network administrators face huge challenges in deploying and managing these
complex edge networks They exist in any market and affect businesses large and small
Failure can be costly in a retail location this could prevent sales transactions or in an office
employees are unable to perform their job due to unresponsive systems As these networks
increasingly rely on data from the cloud they depend on an active and reliable WAN connection
along with all the switches routers and firewalls that transfer this critical information
These devices are under severe load from data throughput potential cyber-attacks
firmware exploits table overflows and adverse environmental conditions to name a few

These distributed edge networks need to be resilient even if the data centers that make up the cloud have five-nines reliability ndash otherwise they become the weakest link in the chain
For example many retailers have implemented cloud-based POS (point of sale) devices making them vulnerable to internet outages Without internet access orders cannot be processed and any sales transactions become manual (if they can occur at all)
With the widespread adoption of cashless payments such as the increasing popularity of Apple and Android Pay retailers need to have network connectivity to accept these forms of payment The Standish Groupsup1 has estimated that 60 seconds of POS downtime costs a typical retailer $4700 Downtime not only impacts cash flow it can also stifle productivity and damages a retailerrsquos reputation and customer goodwill
Out-of-band (OOB) access to critical infrastructure for reconfiguration or repair was pioneered more than 30 years ago It began as a DIY solution where engineers used terminal servers repurposed server computers or routers with serial ports to access their infrastructure Reverse telnet (later reverse SSH) functionality allowed serial over Ethernet redirection and command lineterminal access to the device console
The term Out-of-band management (OOB) means providing secondary dedicated access to network devices separate to the primary network that the system operates on
By implementing OOB technology at the remote site administrators have access to the devices remotely and better visibility of what is happening The administrator no longer needs to rely on untrained individuals to diagnose issues or operate expensive equipment OOB also gives the network administrator the ability to reconfigure network devices remotely bypassing failed equipment to recover the network

Actively monitoring edge networks can improve IT infrastructure management by anticipating possible business disruptions before they become outages Active logging is critical to figuring out whatrsquos going on at a site thousands of miles away and can detect hardwaresoftware issues before they become total failures Notifications are also critical in actively informing you what is going on at the site Alerts can be sent via email SMS and SNMP traps quickly giving administrators a heads-up
In a data center the equipment is typically housed in a safe secure and cooled environment with advanced DCIM (Data Center Infrastructure Management) software connected to various building sensors Unfortunately remote sites dont typically have this option and IT equipment can often be placed in an area that is convenient but not suitable in terms of climate control or security This makes environmental monitoring an important add-on for Out-of-band solutions Sensors can detect smoke water leakage temperature and humidity changes to prevent damage to costly equipment and can also log unauthorized access
A solution with advanced and active logging can trigger condition-based responses to resolve common issues For example a popular remediation action is to configure the OOB device to shut down critical equipment gracefully when the UPS detects main AC failure or the temperature in the rack is too high ndash all without human intervention This will allow the equipment to come back on line as soon as theexternal issue is resolved without risking component failures
Detect Issues Sooner
A scalable and manageable remote Out-of-band solution simplifies dealing with a dispersed network A central management softwareappliance consolidates access to critical infrastructure (consoles and other managed devices) scattered across tens hundreds or thousands of locations
A call home feature is critical for scalable solutions allowing error messages and alerts on the central management software instead of locally on the Out-of-band device This eliminates the sogginess of solutions that hammer the management cloud with continual small updates exacerbating latency and eliminating any possibility of near real-time responses
Small businesses with only a few retail storefronts can feel the pain of network downtime more than a larger enterprise since a single site being offline can impact a large percentage of their revenue Companies with a wide network of locations will often focus on the logistical difficulties of managing impacted stores in Los Angeles Toronto and Berlin at the same time In this way capable highly reliable networking solutions are important to retailers of all sizes Thatrsquos why itrsquos important to choose the correct solution whether yoursquore deploying your 1st or 100th remote location

A remote Out-of-band solution should allow your network in distributed sites to be resilient to typical and complex outages providing affordable business continuity at the hardware layer It is essential that retailers have a back-up (or failover) network connection in the event that a primary ISP connection goes down The solution should be able to automatically fail over the main wiredfiber connection to another connection While many OOB solutions provide a POTS dial-up modem link to dial into the device establishing a POTS line can be very costly and in some instances impossible to deploy because they are unavailable
The use of cellular Out-of-band connectivity has grown popular as cellular coverage continues to expand and increase in reliability OOB solutions with integrated cellular connectivity provide an over-the-air alternate link when that primary network goes down and does not require a costly POTS line For example 4G cellular connectivity offers high throughput and low latency and by comparison is easier and quicker to deploy than a new copper connection Cellular is ubiquitous and provides private network connectivity Cellularrsquos high-speed can also be leveraged to download new firmware and configurations faster than a slow POTS modem
The always-on secure resilient connectivity at each location provided by Failover to Cellulartrade (F2C) ensures the store remains online and
operational even during a network outage when primary connectivity has gone down

If yoursquore living on the edge worrying about critical remote site devices now you can rest easy While you donrsquot have local tech staff proven technology exists to allow your centralized staff to monitor and manage any device anywhere on your distributed network anytime and from anywhere
Everything from security cameras power supplies smoke alarms computers networking equipment and door sensors can be kept safe And a centralized management solution can be programmed to automatically alert and respond to events ensuring uninterrupted availability for remote sites
If your WAN connection is compromised you can rely on Failover to Cellulartrade to ensure continued operation until the WAN can be repaired
