Realizing Truly Remote Management - RemoGuard
As Industrial IoT demands rise in recent decades, the number of connected IoT devices drastically grow.
For enterprises aiming at increased digitization, IoT can be extremely beneficial in terms of streamlining operations and gathering data, often easing management and allowing for significant cost reductions. As Industrial IoT demands rise in recent decades, the number of connected IoT devices drastically grow.
One the other hand, as much as 80% of IT costs are incurred after the initial purchase, with downtime and maintenance ranking as the biggest sinners, according to Gartner. Increased maintenance costs are bound to follow an increase in the number of devices, and so does the risk for downtime and inefficient management. The personnel responsible for equipment maintenance cannot meet the growing numbers of IoT devices. It seems like it is harder to maintain and repair the equipment in a timely manner.
Comprehensive remote management systems can go a long way in mitigating these concerns. Many enterprises have deployed system health monitoring features and management routines into their products and software, to provide the user with a good overview and enable remote backup and recovery, while also offering predictability.
However, when the operating system (OS) crashes, such management systems can no longer access the device. Consequently, sending a technician out to fix it onside manually is indispensable. Given the fact that the number of internet-connected devices is growing at an exponential pace, such costly and labor-intensive action is unsustainable around the world.
With seamless collaboration with Innodisk, DFI launches RemoGuard, a truly remote managing solution not only monitoring the equipment remotely, but activating OS recovery swiftly even if the OS in the machine has crashed, to tackle these challenges. RemoGuard benefits from Innodisk's innoAge, the outstanding out-of-band storage solutions can overcome these challenges by leveraging an independent channel embedded in the solid-state drives (SSDs) of IoT devices.
RemoGuard can timely predict equipment status before its shutdown and efficiently activate OS auto-backup and recovery despite host crashes. The data of device health status are collected automatically to the cloud, and users can easily monitor all connected devices through a customizable UX dashboard. Furthermore, RemoGuard ensures real-time updates and predictive maintenance preventing unexpected malfunctions and enabling OS recovery and auto-backup to reduce costly loss.
For IoT system operators wishing to build connected systems that are sustainable in the long-run, out-of-band-enabled solutions are essentially a necessity. RemoGuard is the revolutionary milestone of remote management solutions. Designed to maximize efficiency in device operations, it overcomes the current challenges in Industry 4.0 and is a turnkey solution to manage your IoT network.
DFI will be hosting live webinar due on October 29, 2020 (02:00 GMT-6 10:00 GMT+2 16:00 GMT+8), audience will get deep understanding across down-to-earth conversation between both product managers in charge of RemoGuard and innoAge, along with demonstration of how RemoGuard can be greatly facilitated while maintaining edge security at the highest level by enabling out-of-band signaling, management and maintenance.
