This switch provides IT administrators a complete remote management solution to access and control servers, networking equipment and other devices found in data centers and branch offices.
The Avocent MergePoint Unity switch enhances 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 unified approach enables IT administrators a faster method to diagnose, reconfigure or restore equipment to meet SLAs and minimize downtime.
Improve Remote Management
and Staff Efficiency
yyReduce 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.
yyComplement in-band tools to create a more complete remote management solution to access servers and network equipment at remote locations.
Avocent® Solutions Can Help You Answer Questions Like:
yyHow can I access a remote server that is having an OS or network connectivity issue?
yyIf a server drops off the network, how can I quickly determine the cause and restore connectivity?
yyHow can I access a remote server to restart a service or stop a runaway process if my remote software tools cannot make a connection?
yyHow can I use smart card readers for computer authentication if I am using remote hardware such as digital KVM switches?
yyWhen working on remote server OS or application issues, how can I transfer data or load a new application if the network connection on that device is down or unavailable?
yyHow can I access the configuration port of a network router or switch that is off-line without having to take my laptop and a serial cable into the data center?
yyVirtual 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
yyRemote smart card/CAC reader support is provided for advanced security requirements. Using the virtual media capabilities of the Avocent MergePoint UnityTM switch, a smart card reader can be mapped from a desktop PC out to a remote server.
yyReduce the need to physically enter the data centers for local access and control. The Avocent MergePoint UnitTM 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.
