‘Out – of – band’ as a term in the IT management industry
LockedHi – I’m new to posting, and the industry. I’m doing some research for the company I work with, as I was recently given the task to market a product that I don’t fully understand. As all the QA and Project managers on our team speak a foreign language (Hebrew), so I wanted to give it a try and ask here.
Some background – the product itself is a remote kvm access management system. It’s meant to be “the ultimate tool for IT managers”. It’s got some neat features that my marketing team swears is the next big thing in IT. I’m still confused about the “out of band” part. If it’s over ip, isn’t that obvious that it’s out of band? They insist on using this term and with some priliminary research, I’m not sure it’s the right way for us to go. Why would I say it’s ‘out of band’ and over ip in the same description?
Is there any need to state “out of band” when it’s clear already?
Any thoughts?
