What happens when nobody is in?

telanova: the outsourced IT team that feels like your own

Providing advice, consultancy, helpdesk, monitoring and maintenance, updates, upgrades, security: all the things your in-house team would do, but better and at a fraction of the cost and hassle.

What happens when nobody is in?

We do 99% of our work remotely, connecting to the computer or server as though we were sitting in front of it. If a PC happens to be turned off or is unresponsive, we sometimes have to ask our customers to “switch it off and on again”.

But for a server it might not be that simple. Maybe no one is present, such as during this current lockdown, or if it’s in a secured server room, or it may occur out of usual office hours such as over a weekend or during a bank holiday under more “normal” times.

We could send an engineer on site - but there’s a better way: “out of band management” - and I don’t mean when Robbie left take that.

Inside the server is another tiny server we can connect to. This allows us to diagnose why it was unresponsive and control the power switch.

So that’s how we can reboot the server without the cost and delay of dispatching an engineer.
