Meets Needs of Branch Offices

Designed to meet the specific needs of the remote branch office, the SLB branch office manager conserves rack space and reduces costs by enabling system administrators at a main corporate facility to manage the IT equipment distributed among branch offices simply and cost-effectively.

Branch offices are facilities that are typically remote or “distributed IT” locations, likely located off-site of corporate headquarters or large-scale enterprise facilities. These distributed facilities typically do not have an on-site maintenance staff or IT System Administrator.

Typically, the branch office environment has some of the following characteristics:

Space is limited to 1U rack space or shelf mounted desktop unit

Closet-mounted or wall-attached rack

Limited air and power conditioning

Limited number of network devices and servers

No on-site maintenance staff

Ethernet or dial-up modem access is required
