Computers
and networking technology have progressed rapidly over the last few decades.
The internet has made vast improvements in the everyday community and
workforce, allowing increased communication and access to information among
employees. A console server is what allows this connection between computers to
happen. This enables computers to connect via either wireless or directly
through a cable linking all of the networked machines together. This device is
often referred to as the hub because it is at the center of the connection.
The device
enables one to remotely access their computer network and this is advantageous
if there is a system malfunction. Often when a system error occurs all
computers have to be shut down, therefore remotely accessing the systems allows
one to rectify any problems. If this was not possible then workers would be
unable to complete their jobs, due to not being able to access any information,
and many companies would come to a standstill.
At least one
console server is needed in a network in order to allow one to access the
relevant systems without directly connecting; and one needs to have at least a
basic knowledge of the type of console server needed. A Unix server, for
example, will allow one to access the system through the internet which can be
viewed as advantageous because one can access the network from another office,
home or even another country.
Many people worry
that remotely accessing a network compromises their security. It is reassuring
to know that this is not the case because access requires a password to be
entered, often the same login details that one would normally use are required.
Additionally, accessing one's system via the internet may be limiting because
it only allows read-only access. In order to edit any details one has to do so
through a main connection. Any other connections will only allow one to view
information about it, but it will inform of anything that needs to be looked at
and adjusted.
Those people
that have technical know-how are likely to be able to make their own console
server because they have prior knowledge of how to build electronic devices.
This can sometimes be useful, especially if an employer uses old computer parts
and computers because a console server that fits may not be available. It may
need to be custom made in order to fit the computer properly because many
stores no longer sell these parts. However, it may be possible to buy an older
conserver on a conserver website. Overall, the majority of people like to buy
an already made console server because they are reasonably priced on the market
and it is, of course, the easier option.
