We have introduced powerful 24- and 40-port CAT5 KVM over the NET switches capable of managing an entire data center either on-site or remotely.
Foothill Ranch, CA (PRWEB) November 30, 2009
ATEN Technology, Inc. today launched IP KVM switches designed specifically for the SME (small and medium enterprises) market. The new 40-Port CAT5 IP KVM (KN4140v) is a KVM switch with built-in remote access functionality in a 1U-high configuration. The KN4140v enables one local and up to four remote operators to monitor and access an entire enterprise data center via the Internet. Through cascading, users can access and monitor as many as 640 servers -- all from a single console. Also available is a 40-port model (KN2140v) that offers one local and up to two remote users via the Internet.
In addition to the KN4140v, ATEN also unveiled a 24-port IP KVM switch capable of accessing and monitoring up to 384 servers through cascading. The 24-Port CAT5 IP KVM (KN4124v) is a 1U-high KVM switch with remote access functionality that offers support for one local and up to four remote users via the Internet. A 24-port model (KN2124v) supporting one local and up to two remote users via the Internet is also available. The 24 and 40-port switches offer key differentiators such as audio support, redundant power, local user interface/graphical OSD, panel array and CAT5 cabling that supports distances up to 150 feet. These new units offer customers an alternative to competitive products from Raritan and Avocent.
The 24- and 40-Port CAT5 IP KVM switches fully support audio which allows media production companies to benefit during the memory-intensive editing process. Typically, employees need access to large video and audio files that are housed in servers down the hall or at a different location. With the units’ built-in remote access functionality, these media production companies can operate without a hitch.
These industry-first IP KVM switches for the SME market complement ATEN Technology’s already wide ranging suite of KVM switches. These new products incorporate features based on customer requests including future-proofing with the addition of extra ports and virtual media allowing users to remotely install software patches and upgrades to an entire data center. In addition, these products offer cross platform capabilities with serial, power and KVM functionality – all in one device. The 24- and 40-Port CAT5 IP KVM units both support virtual media (file transfer functionality), dual power, audio transfer via TCP/IP and dual on-board NICs (network interface cards). The switches also feature a Panel Array Mode enabling administrators to monitor, in real-time, up to 40 servers at once in a grid array. Additionally, both units offer out-of-band access, including external modem support, for BIOS-level troubleshooting when a network is down.
Pre-installed on the 24- and 40-Port CAT5 IP KVM switches, the Control Center over the NET™ (CC2000) management software allows IT administrators to remotely monitor and control all installed devices through a single Web portal that is securely accessible anywhere, at any time. The single, integrated browser-based interface enables administrators to manage IT devices though multiple connection methods without having to access separate user interfaces -- improving system management ease-of-use and efficiency.
“As the number of servers in a typical SME data center grows exponentially, the ability to efficiently manage them has become paramount for IT administrators,” explained Sampson Yang, CEO, ATEN Technology, Inc. “We have addressed this issue by introducing powerful 24- and 40-port CAT5 KVM over the NET switches capable of managing an entire data center either on-site or remotely. These switches are ideal for small, medium and large data centers and meet stringent requirements for remote administrators and remote authentication for LDAP, RADIUS and Active Directory integrations.”
Available now, the units are backed by ATEN Technology’s three-year warranty program and priced as follows:
