MergePoint Unity KVM over IP and Serial Console Switches
The Avocent MergePoint® Unity™ switches include both KVM over IP and serial console
management technology in a single appliance.
This unique combination provides IT administrators a complete remote management solution
to access and control servers, networking equipment and other devices found in data centers
and branch offi ces.
The MergePoint Unity switches enhance the in-band management typically done through the
NIC of IT equipment by providing secure and remote out-of-band connections directly to the
physical KVM, USB and serial ports. This unifi ed approach enables IT administrators a faster
method to diagnose, reconfi gure or restore equipment to meet SLAs and minimize downtime.
Improve Remote Management and Staff Effi ciency
Reduce the time required to remotely diagnose/reconfi gure/repair/restore servers as well as
network devices and other hardware with serial confi guration 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 fi les, 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
pin out the module to enable a fast and direct connection to Cisco confi guration 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 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 centers for local access and control.
The 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.

Expand Your Control
Avocent Power Management Distribution Units (PM PDUs) can attach directly to one of the
two dedicated power control ports to allow administrators the ability to control the power to
the devices they are accessing using the MergePoint Unity switch. The integration between
remote access and power control allows administrators to see the results instantly when they
turn remote devices on/off.
