Organizations today depend upon their networks point. The demarcation point is a point established in to increase productivity and reduce network infrastructure a building or business complex that separates customer and maintenance costs. Accordingly, these networks must equipment from communications company equipment. be secure and perform reliably in order to accommodate CPE generally refers to telephones, DSL modems, geographically dispersed users. cable modems, and set-top boxes for use with a service providers' service; also included are key phone systems This will not be accomplished through more devices, and private branch exchanges (PBXs).more complexity or more single capability solutions. The solution is found at the critical juncture where remote While the opportunity for managed CPE service equipment sites link distributed networks and connect growth has great promise, there are many challenges that to the centralized network management system. This service providers face. The new and varied technologies is where all the remote monitoring, access, control and implemented at remote sites is usually more than just security are required, and integrated within a cohesive a traditional PBX voice system, and often exceeds the platform. monitoring capabilities of traditional remote monitoring devices. Immediate and secure access has never been With Asentria solutions, service providers can deliver more of a concern, yet many older monitoring devices reliable connectivity from any location. Customers can lack the required security, are too complicated to rely on network services that are delivered with maximum set up, or report alarm conditions using proprietary uptime, IT personnel gain a dramatic improvement in communication methods. Furthermore, the demands for quickly resolving remote site equipment and environmental high system availability require monitoring and response problems, and organizations reduce their overall remote that go beyond the simple unintelligent monitoring that site infrastructure and maintenance costs. has traditionally been available.
