The Avocent DSView Software Silver Software Upgrade providing 1year priority, 12×5 technical support, Starter Pack (1 Hub 250 Managed Devices). Avocent DSView Management Software helps IT Managers and network operators to overcome several challenges including:
- Geo-dispersed data centres or branch infrastructure, requiring professional “hands-on” management
- Heterogeneously equipped or merger-acquired data centres which are inconsistently managed via a patch-work of discrete and/or siloed vendor products
- Lights out data centres, requiring “hands-on” remote management within a physical space
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 or proprietary) 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 center 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 and 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 and 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 center infrastructure.
- Hub and spoke solution architecture for disaster resistance, fail-over management and scalable solution deployment across complex data center topology.
- Supports analog and cellular modem based Out Of Band (OOB) access to the data center infrastructure in the event of primary network failure.
