Cbox-advance devices are beneficial to medium size sites where we have very critical applications servers and IoT devices deployed. Cbox-advance is having features to support IoT devices on remote sites like IOT cameras, alarms, etc…
This device has a mini compute inside which is beneficial to address all compute challenges for testing, troubleshooting remote problems.
This can be configured as DHCP, TFTP, FTP, etc.. services on a cbox-advance device.
Current console switch products are focused on the Datacenter and somehow ignore remote sites.
Cbox-smart is very cost-effective. These are must-have devices in every remote office of an enterprise.
Use Cases
IOS upgradations, DHCP service, TFTP server, ZTP provisioning made easy
Cbox-Advance is having a mini compute with TFTP, DHCP, etc.. services. Using these services we can do automation IOS up-gradation of various Switches, Routers, firewalls, etc.. devices. This compute is Linux based and having full python, Ansible, etc.. support for running any custom scripts
IoT devices support, control of light, AC, etc.. all IoT devices at the remote site.
Cbox-advance is having mini compute and GPIO pins support. We can control light in the computer room, camera, AC, etc.. devices. Central Network Operation center engineers have now full control of the site including IoT devices.
