VERTIV AVOCENT MPU
KVM over IP Switch

Improve Remote Management and Staff Efficiency

Reduce the time required to remotely diagnose/reconfigure/repair/restore servers as well as network devices and other hardware with serial configuration and/or management consoles. Complement in-band tools to create a more complete remote management solution to access servers and network equipment at remote locations. Virtual media enables remote USB connections to map CD-ROM and other USB mass storage devices directly to remote servers to transfer/copy files, load updates or install new applications, etc. Integrated serial device support allows secure SSH connections to the physical serial ports of devices attached to the MPUIQ-SRL module. The Cisco configuration settings electronically pin out the module to enable a fast and direct connection to Cisco configuration ports, without the need for any additional external wiring adapters or special wiring. 

Improve Physical Security

Remote smart card/CAC reader support is provided for advanced security requirements. Using the virtual media capabilities of the Vertiv Avocent MergePoint Unity switch, a smart card reader can be mapped from a desktop PC out to a remote server. Reduce the need to physically enter the data centres for local access and control. The Vertiv Avocent MergePoint Unity switch provides remote users the capabilities of a direct physical connection from anywhere to KVM, USB and serial ports of servers and other IT equipment
