| Administrators can use
a single device to remotely manage systems and network appliances;
through their text-based consoles or their graphical desktops. And
they have remote control from the applications layer right down to
the hardware - without the high costs of installing legacy KVM over
IP solutions. Robust and Secure Console servers provide a robust and secure solution for locally and remotely accessing, monitoring, and controlling networks of servers and appliances. Opengear's CM4148 provides direct console and screen access for troubleshooting and diagnostics, and enable the infrastructure to be reconfigured and rebooted, ensuring availability at critical times. A CM4148 console server at a remote site can be accessed In-band through the Internet or the enterprise IP network; or Out-of-band through a dial-up modem PPP port or a management network. All connections are secure, with encrypted access to remote systems using up to 128-bit AES encryption. CM4000 also provides a selection of filtering and access logging facilities. All console logs can be archived off line. Access also can be restricted by IP address, by password, or by account. So managers can securely control and manage their distributed networks of servers and appliances. |
