Case Study: University of Cambridge achieves secure remote network management with Lantronix OOBM solutions

University of Cambridge unifies out-of-band management across 1209-founded campus with Lantronix

The University of Cambridge needed to securely manage critical network devices across its vast campus using an existing out-of-band fiber-optic network. Their challenge was to find an integrated Out-of-Band Management (OOBM) solution that would allow for remote configuration and troubleshooting from virtually anywhere, maximizing network uptime. They turned to vendor Lantronix for a solution.

Lantronix implemented its PercepXion for Networking cloud platform and EMG 8500 edge management gateways. This provided the university's IT team with a single pane for remote management, enabling them to configure and troubleshoot devices from their repair vans or any location. As a result, Lantronix's solutions became the exclusive OOBM devices on the university's network, ensuring the dedicated network stays up and running smoothly with remote view and management capabilities.
