ZPE Systems Leads the Way: Helping Resellers Migrate from Raritan SXII Console Servers
With Raritan’s Dominion SXII console server range reaching End-of-Sales on 31 December 2025 and End-of-Support by December 2027, IT resellers now have an opportunity to help their customers modernise their infrastructure with a stronger, more secure alternative.
As a UK authorised distributor of ZPE Systems, MB Technology is here to support the channel through this transition – helping resellers prepare customers for the next generation of out-of-band management with ZPE Systems’ Nodegrid console server range.
