Although remote facilities and mobile deployments need the same IT security and service levels as centrally-located users, maintaining a full-time IT staff for each site is cost-prohibitive. Organizations must instead dispatch technicians to perform repairs at remote or sites or support mobile end users over the phone. These procedures are time-consuming and can result in slow Return to Service or delayed software updates for remote users. Security risks are also higher for remote deployments since IT staff cannot monitor the assets on a day-to-day basis.
With its centralized hardware (blades) and powerful management software (Sentral™), ClearCube provides the ideal solution for remote and mobile computing. All computing assets are housed in a central location, and remote users access their allocated blades either through an Ethernet-connected user port or over a supported web browser. The centralized computing solution delivers the significant benefits such as:
Hardened Security
Since all computing assets (including hard drive) are “locked down” in a central location, data and hardware security is dramatically strengthened. The only device to which remote users have access is a small user port that does not contain any data.
99.9% Uptime
In the event of a failure, an IT administrator can reallocate the affected user to a spare blade in seconds. The remote or mobile user is instantly back up-and-running, and the IT administrator can perform repairs at the central site as needed.
Simple Manageability
The Sentral™ management software enables IT staff to perform all asset tracking and maintenance directly from the IT console. Hardware/software installs and upgrades are also performed at the central site, eliminating the need to visit remote sites or mobile deployments.
Lower Support Costs
Since IT administrators can perform all maintenance centrally, organizations do not incur expensive travel or overtime costs. An IDC study shows that organizations deploying ClearCube typically reduce IT support costs by 40% (per IDC).
Improved User Ergonomics
The ClearCube solution is ideal for deployments with space constraints (e.g., branch banks, disaster recovery sites, mobile command centers). About the size of a paperback book, the ClearCube user port emits no noise, generates little heat and can be mounted behind a monitor or under the desk for maximum work space.
