High-performance design and advanced features

The Cyclades ACS 6000 series of advanced console servers features a high-speed processor platform with dual Gigabit-Ethernet ports for redundancy, optional built-in modem and two 16and 32-bit PC card options.Other benefits includean internal temperature sensor for device level monitoring, and configurable pin-outs for serial ports.

TheACS 6000 series also offers software features to meet the requirements of the most demanding data center management applications. Features include automated discovery tools to ease identification of servers, routers, switches or PBX connected to any serial port. This savestime at initial configuration and installation. To comply with existing data center network access policy, the ACS 6000console serversprovide customizable multiple access levels for secure management.

TheACS 6000series provides a complete solution for secure remote control with features such as enhanced security, data logging and event monitoring. In addition,the console serverssupport next generation network standards such as Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). Available in 16-, 32and 48-port models, the6000 series console servers fit in 1U of rack space with single and dual AC and DC power options. With and without modem, the console servers help maximize IT asset productivity, provide scalability and reduce operational costs.
