In today's information age, keeping IT infrastructures fully operational while lowering
operational costs has never been more important. IT infrastructures today include data
centers in multiple locations with a wide variety of different types of assets, the cost
of maintaining these assets can become overwhelming. To reduce operational costs and
ensure round-the-clock service availability, you need effective and reliable out-of-band
management to securely access, diagnose
and restore disconnected or failed IT assets quickly.
Business stops when the IT production network is down or an IT asset is not responding.
In-band management tools alone cannot correct the problem. Administrators often need
out-of-band management tools to troubleshoot
and restore IT assets across the enterprise, whether the IT assets are close at hand or
far away. Out-of-band management tools by Avocent include Cyclades® ACS console
servers, DSR® switch appliances, Cyclades PM intelligent power distribution units
(IPDUs) and the MergePoint service processor manager. The DSView® 3 management
software integrates all of these products into a single user interface.
Effective out-of-band management reduces IT operational costs and risks while
increasing IT asset and personnel productivity. Out-of-band management tools by Avocent
enable administrators to access and troubleshoot IT assets even if the production network
is down. Access is available through a variety of methods, so that management is not
limited to a single network or a single point of failure.
Cyclades ACS console servers is part of this overall solution
and provides IT professionals with secure, remote access and management to serial based
consoles of Linux servers and network equipment.
