Intelligent Auto Failover (Dual LAN models) |
On all dual LAN models, the administrator can enable failover to the second LAN port. One or two IP addresses may be used. Either LAN connection can be used as the access port to the Dominion SX. |
Cross-platform Hardware Independence |
Allows connection of multiple disparate servers running SUN® Solaris™, HP-UX, AIX, Linux®, Windows® Server 2003, and UNIX® servers as well as serial devices to a single Dominion SX – making it perfect for situations where a range of equipment is needed, which is common in remote locations. |
AC and DC Power Options |
Integrated power supply ensures proper power provision and system reliability.

Manageability |
|
Easy to Install |
Installation in less than 3 minutes, with just a Web browser or a VT100 terminal (or equivalent). Some competitive products require burdensome editing of multiple files to complete a basic installation. |
IPMI Support |
Improved system performance monitoring and management. Allows for discovery and management of IPMI-enabled servers. |
SecureChat Instant Messaging |
Allows encrypted instant messaging for online collaboration with other authorized browser users and maximizes the effectiveness of a distributed workforce. Reduces time to resolve problems and allows multiperson troubleshooting. Also supports training needs. |
