Action Item: Remote Office IT presents a unique set of challenges for CIOs. Like data center IT, availability, serviceability and efficiency are key requirements. Unlike data centers, however, on-premises IT staff are limited. Solutions designed for small businesses often lack the remote-deployment and remote management capabilities of solutions designed for large-enterprise branch offices. CIOs considering a branch office refresh should pay special attention to recently introduced technologies that enable centralized deployment, centralized management, and lean remote-office IT.
