Overview
By enabling both in-band and out-of-band tool use, the switches allow for a more fault-tolerant and complete remote management solution. Remote, out-of-band connections compliment traditional in-band/software tools to improve troubleshooting, shorten response times and help minimize unplanned downtime.
The DSR appliances provide remote users from anywhere the capabilities of a direct, physical connection to KVM, USB and serial ports of servers and other IT equipment.
Features and Benefits
- Advanced Remote Management – Provides secure and remote out-of-band connections directly to the physical KVM, USB and serial ports to complement existing in-band software management tools
- Meet Service Level Agreements and Minimize Downtime – Unified approach gives IT administrators a faster method to diagnose, reconfigure or restore equipment
- Virtual Media Support – Enables USB media such as CD-ROMs, flash memory and external drives to be virtually attached to a remote server's USB port
- CAC/Smart Card Support – Utilizing the virtual media capabilities, remote or local users can map a USB-based smart card reader to the attached servers and authenticate using that reader
- Serial Adapters – Supports vt100 emulation to allow direct access and control of network equipment and other devices with serial configuration or console ports
- Power Device Port – Connect supported PDUs for integrated power control, measurement and reporting
- Flexible Management Options – Built-in Web interface for stand-alone applications or DSView® 3 management software can be used to manage
