1 Intel Virtual Gateway Take Control of Your Data Center

2 Remote Access Usage in Data Center

3 Data Center Challenges My server in Mexico is down and I can t access it or find out why My server is down, and I don t know where it is located My server is offline and I can t reboot it from my location My primary network is down and all my servers with it. I spend a lot of $$$ on hardware KVMs for my servers. I have thousands of heterogamous servers in my data center and I need a tool to control and access them to maintain full availability
