Case Study: Allstream improves uptime and saves time with Perle Console Server

Allstream reduces downtime and remote reboot trips with Perle Console Server for 24-server management

Allstream, a provider of comprehensive e-business solutions and data center services, faced a challenge with unreliable console servers causing periodic downtime. Their existing equipment sent disruptive serial breaks to servers, forcing complete reboots and interrupting customer access. Seeking a reliable vendor solution to improve uptime, they turned to Perle.

Perle implemented its console server, which offered Allstream the needed port density and enhanced built-in security features like SSH. The solution provided secure, remote management of network devices. According to Allstream, the Perle console server saved both time and money by eliminating after-hours trips for reboots, reducing downtime, and allowing work to be done faster from any location. Perle's responsiveness to feature requests also contributed to a successful partnership.
