CM4000 Console Servers

The Opengear CM4000 is the most efficient console server at the lowest cost available today. In one secure package, we have developed an out of band management solution for serial console ports, servers, virtual servers, service processors, UPS & PDU's, envioronmental monitoring and more. The CM4000 family of advanced console servers enables system administrators to securely access and control their data centers and networks from anywhere in the world.

Secure Console Management

The CM4000 family of console servers enables system administrators to securely access and control their data centers and networks from anywhere in the world. The CM4000 provides reliable and secure access to the serial console ports, embedded service processors and network console ports on Windows, Linux, SUN, HP and IBM servers. The CM4000 can monitor and control network infrastructure such as Routers, Switches, Firewalls, UPS, Remote Power, PBX, and much more

Remote Out of Band Access

The CM4000 console server can be remotely accessed in-band through 10/000 TCP/IP or out-of-band through an external modem. All connections are secure to remote systems using robust advanced encryption. The CM4000 also provides a selection of filtering and access logging facilities which can be archived off-line. Access can be restricted by IP address, password or account. Administrators can securely control and manage their distributed networks of servers and appliances using the latest in console access. Available in 8, 16 and 48 port models, the IM4200 family of advanced console servers are the perfect fit for in band or out of band access to vital IT assets.

Pattern Match Alerting

Opengear console servers can help you ensure uptime by proactively scanning the serial stream on the console ports for specific errors or phrases. We monitor the traffic on the serial port and will watch for user defined patterns or phrases and send alerts via SMS text or email based on pattern match.

Hotkey Power on RPS/PDU

Imagine yourself having out of band access to a dead communications device that is entirely locked up in a frozen condition, simply hotkey via SSH or telnet to launch our power menu to check power status, power cycle, turn off or on. We have support for thousands of PDU/RPS units, both serial and SNMP connected units.

Scripting

Unlike other proprietary vendors we allow access to the linux core including bash. Why do i need this? Well, you can create proactive self-healing solutions that cycle power on a router or switch on ping failure.
