Netgate pfSense Plus - An Out-of-Band Data Center Use Case
Summary
Here’s a glimpse into how pfSense Plus provides cost-effective, secure, high-performance out-of-band network access: We maintain software distribution services in both Austin, Texas and New Jersey. The XG-1541 firewalls are in turn connected to another switch which provides a high speed uplink - via a pair of TNSR routers - to the Internet. The goal here is to provide secure out-of-band access to Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) connections on each network device. IPMI enables central control and monitoring of server hardware status (temperature, power consumption, voltage, etc.) But every business has stretched IT resources who need fast and secure remote access to critical network infrastructure - whether down the street or thousands of miles away - when calamity hits.
