Do you need to speak to someone about Critical Power, Out of Band Management, or your IT at the EDGE?
VERTIV AVOCENT DSVIEW
Avocent® DSView™ Management Software helps your IT and data centre operations teams overcome these challenges by providing secure sessions to remotely locate data centre infrastructure controls. Through usage of innovative Avocent® appliances, off-network controls are network enabled for secured web-browser sessions via DSView:
Keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) controls of a standard server.
Serial port (Telnet, Putty) controls of a server, network, SAN or Rack PDU.
Proprietary connection to service processor.
MIB-based controls to infrastructure like Intelligent Rack PDU.
As a stand-alone solution, DSView delivers secured web-browser enabled sessions of on-network infrastructure controls. As an IT integrated solution, DSView delivers secured web-browser enabled sessions to Virtual Machines (VMware, MS Hyper V and Citrix Xen). As an industry proven secure, remote infrastructure management control solution, DSView has evolved a valued collection of product features, such as:
Secured, remote management control of data centre infrastructure via KVM, serial and service processor for:
- “Hands-on” management and operational state monitoring (device state, power consumption, temperature) in real-time and as a polled device threshold event.
- Control at the physical firmware level for bare metal OS provisioning.
- Control at the physical host OS level for application sessions.
- Control at the logical VM instance level for virtualized OS and application sessions.
Standards based encryption HTTPS/TLS/AES/SSH; out-of-box integration to enterprise authentication & authorization; session & event logging/reporting.
Threshold based event notification by site definition required on device parameters.
Logical data access bridges between virtual media data sources (software installation, off-site data, etc.) and remotely managed data centre infrastructure.
Hub and spoke solution architecture for disaster resistance, fail-over management and scalable solution deployment across complex data centre topology.
Supports analogy and cellular modem based Out Of Band (OOB) access to the data centre infrastructure in the event of primary network failure.
