Take control
Your IT environment is mission-critical to your business. Yet as networks and systems have grown more distributed and complex, legacy tools aren’t capable of providing secure remote management because they are either dependent on the availability of the network and devices they’re supposed to manage, or lack the automated intelligence to take corrective actions when problems arise. This forces employees and contractors to go on site for everything from the most routine maintenance to a bare-metal rebuild, making network and systems management a labor-intensive, error-prone and insecure process that impacts the reliability of your IT operations and retention of your IT staff.
Until now.
To effectively, efficiently and securely manage remote locations, a new management approach and architecture is required (See Figure 1). Solutions need to be deployed where they are needed most – at the edge of your network – becoming an integrated component of the IT infrastructure that they are designed to manage.

Get the power of secure remote management
Uplogix has designed and delivered a secure remote management platform from the ground up, to address the long-standing challenges of managing branch offices and other distributed IT infrastructure. Uplogix’ unique architecture integrates an always-available, secure and intelligent direct connection to the remote devices it manages (i.e. routers, switches, servers, power) to enable:
- Access | Secure, always-available access to the distributed devices you need to manage
- Control | Local automation and control of routine maintenance, configuration and recovery tasks
- Enforcement | Consistent security and policy enforcement, even during network outages
By integrating these functions, Uplogix solutions provide a single point of access, control and enforcement that costs less, is simpler to use and manage, and improves business processes to remove risks that were extremely difficult and expensive to eliminate in the past.
Deploy remote management tools ... As you rely on the router to carry branch services, you’ll need an out-of-band solution that can help configure, back up, and reboot the device... For more advanced needs, Uplogix takes it one step further with its Envoy product, which provides standardized procedures for OS upgrades and patches, modifying configuration elements, and password updates and recovery — in essence building “best-practices-in-a-box” with scripts that automate branch management tasks.
