| Local management access to all the equipment in your racks |
With KCS6000 you can now manage all the equipment in your data center or computer room from the rack side. Your existing LCD console drawer can locally manage your computers at the service processor level (IPMI, SoL, web browser), operating system level (Windows, Linux, VMWare) right up to the applications layers (RDP, VNC, HTTP). You can use the USB or serial ports to control your UPS power units and power switches, manage the serial consoles on your routers and the web browser network ports on your firewalls and other devices. This local access to all the consoles gives you complete control over the entire headed and headless infrastructure in your racks. |
| Brings new life to your KVM investment
|
Your existing KVM equipment can now also access all the IT assets in your data center. From your KVM console you now control serial, USB, power and network devices as well as legacy KVM computers. Your KVM can run a Firefox browser and Java programs in the embedded SUN JRE to locally connect to VMWare or your Cisco router or IBM-RSA/ Dell-DRAC/ HP-iLO or SUN-ALOM service processor. You can run the embedded Network UPS Tool and manage the power supplies, or with the embedded terminal emulator connect to legacy serial console devices These next generation extensions apply to your existing analog KVM, digital KVM or KVMoIP equipment.
|
| Rapid problem diagnosis and resolution
|
The KCS6000 enhances the local capability for monitoring all the devices in the rack and spotting problems with servers, storage networking or power equipment. The time and cost to diagnose and remediate problems is minimized, reducing maintenance costs and improving data center and NOC uptime and service levels.
|
| Remote Access |
The KCS6000 also full provides in band and out of band remote control facilities. You can operate locally at the rack, while monitoring and managing these operations from a remote site. Or you can access and control all the computers, datacomms and power devices from a remote site directly through the KCS6000 using your browser or the SDT Connector client
|
| Sophisticated Monitoring and Alerts
|
The KCS provides customizable monitoring, alerts and alarm management, and maintains extensive logs. SDT for Nagios support then provides an even more sophisticated and comprehensive alarming and notification mechanism with escalation rules to alert you of breached thresholds and potential problems. You can monitor network services (SMTP, POP3, HTTP, NNTP, ICMP, SNMP, FTP, SSH) host resources (processor load, disk usage, system logs) and probes (temperature, alarms...) with automatic alerts for defined system events sent via e-mail, SNMP and SMS to mitigate system and network disasters.
|
| Secure Access and Control |
Auditing and tracking of all access helps your organization conform to mandatory compliance requirements like Sarbanes-Oxley, GLBA and HIPAA. Remote management access to the KCS (using browsers, VNC, RDP, SSH, Telnet) is securely tunneled with strong selectable encryption (3DES, Blowfish, AES, Arcfour) and flexible authentication (Public Key, One-Time Password, Kerberos, LDAP, TACACS) and access control (trusted networks, dial back, restricted user access zones).
