The new generation of KVM over the NET switches allow local and remote operators to monitor and access the entire enterprise data centre over the Internet using a web-based browser.
A special Message Board feature - which like an internet chat program - lets any number of remotely logged in users exchange information and communicate with each other or to cooperatively manage the installation. A Panel Array Mode - allows real-time monitoring of 40 servers at once. Other features that contribute to the switches' powerful capabilities include: Mouse DynaSync, Adapter ID, and Virtual Media support.
With their dual on-board NICs and dual power supplies, these switches have been built for 24/7 reliability to ensure the highest rate of availability for your server room and data centre services.
Now, using Altusen KVM Over the NET switches, IT administrators can manage their server rooms and data centres from practically anywhere - minimizing travel costs and MTTR (Mean Time to Repair) - and ensuring the highest availability of data centre services possible.
