Organizations using end-of-life console
servers must reduce their vulnerability exposure and secure their
infrastructure comprehensively by using ZPE's console servers,
installation services and configuration engineering.
FREMONT,
Calif., May 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- As
cyberattacks continue to rise, ZPE Systems, a leader in network
management infrastructure recently acquired by Legrand, is urging
organizations to transition to Generation 3 console servers as part
of their security strategies. With other well-known infrastructure
providers discontinuing support for serial consoles already in use
within data centers, communication networks and other commercial
and industrial environments, the need to upgrade is
paramount.
Console servers are the backbone of remote IT management,
providing essential access to network devices and servers. However,
using discontinued console servers poses significant security
risks. Outdated firmware may contain known vulnerabilities that
enable cyber attackers to infiltrate critical systems, causing
costly data breaches and operational disruptions.
Despite these substantial risks, many organizations hesitate to
replace their outdated infrastructure, citing budget constraints,
labor costs and concerns about infrastructure disruption.
Arnaldo Zimmermann, cofounder of ZPE
Systems, highlights this dilemma, saying, "Organizations face
financial constraints when considering hardware upgrades,
especially when existing infrastructure seems to be working fine.
When you consider the capex, labor costs and time it takes to
physically install and configure new equipment, it's easy to see
why organizations say, 'if it's not broken, don't fix it.'"
To address these challenges, ZPE Systems offers a comprehensive
solution designed to alleviate budgetary concerns and streamline
the replacement process:
- New Cost-Effective Replacement Options: ZPE's Nodegrid
devices enable organizations to secure their management
infrastructure with new budget-friendly, Gen 3 console
servers.
- New Professional Installation & Recycling Services:
As needed, ZPE Systems offers solutions for the physical
installation process and recycling of old equipment, minimizing
downtime and ensuring environmental responsibility.
- New Tailored Configuration Services: ZPE's engineers
provide customized configuration services to transfer the old
configuration to new systems and optimize the performance and
security of the new console servers.
"There's a lot of friction in upgrading," adds Koroush Saraf, VP of Products and Marketing at
ZPE Systems. "We've heard of customers using outdated devices for
years, who won't replace because they just don't have the time,
money or manpower. Our goal is to remove that friction,
streamlining the transition process and empowering organizations to
enhance their security posture without the added burden."
By utilizing Gen 3 console servers from ZPE, customers benefit
from 3rd party security validated firmware that
addresses Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) as well as
hardware security features designed to mitigate cybersecurity
threats. Organizations can safeguard their assets, protect
sensitive data and maintain operational continuity in an
increasingly volatile digital landscape.
