Data Centres - Local and Remote Device Management

Administration des équipements en local et à distance

Solutions KVM Fournir aux utilisateurs un accès sécurisé aux serveurs et aux autres équipements est essentiel. Qu’il s’agisse juste de vérifier que les serveurs fonctionnent correctement ou d’effectuer une mise à jour du système d’exploitation ou d’un firmware, les solutions d’accès doivent offrir sécurité et fiabilité.

Souvent, les clients souhaitent pouvoir surveiller eux-même la consommation électrique de leurs baies hébergées ; d’une part pour vérifier que leur est facture correspond bien à leur consommation et d’autre part, pour prévoir la mise à jour de leur alimentation.

dans ce domaine, notre expertise est totale. De simples solutions KVM permettant à des utilisateurs de se loguer à des serveurs hors bande, jusqu’aux solutions KVM complètes d’accès distant à des serveurs série, tous les solutions que nous proposons disposent de niveau élevé d’authentification et nombre d’elles peuvent être couplées avec des syst&eagrave;mes intelligents de contôle de l’alimentation électrique avec accè au BIOS.

Les solutions d’accès à distance ont tendance à utiliser la compression pour minimiser la bande passante et offrir ainsi une connectivité rapide et facile à utiliser, convenant ainsi ` la plupart des circuits large bande. En ajustant la résolution, la profondeur des couleurs et en utilisant les fonctions de limitation de bande passante, des dé aussi faible qu’1 Mbits/s peuvent convenir.

A noter – Toutes les solutions ServSwitch Black Box sont hors bande ; ainsi, l’accè est indépendant du statut de l’application et par conséquentsolutions are out of band, so access is provided independent of application status, and therefore we fully support BIOS access on boot up, unlike any software solution available.

ServSwitch DKM

The DKM is our flagship matrix switch, providing instantaneous high-definition switching for applications where video quality is paramount. Utilising catx up to 140 metres and fibre cabling up to 10 km, the DKM provides the solution for even the largest of data centres. With chassis available from 8 ports through to 288, and the ability to cascade chassis, the DKM presents the most flexible high end matrix switching solution.

ServSwitch CX Range

For large scale server management, the CX provides the perfect solution by supporting up to 864 individual VGA, or DisplayPort servers. It provides access from the server room, the control room and supports IP access for remote control. It is scaleable from 8 servers upwards, and utilises catx cabling to achieve distances of up to 300 metres, making it ideal for data centre access for both data centre managers and their customers.

Serial Appliance Access

Not all servers require or even support KVM access. Devices like SUN computers and appliances such as switches and routers, often only support serial access for management. For these devices a terminal server provides all that is required. Each device is connected to a terminal server via a Catx cable with the appropriate cross wired server access module on the end. Secure Terminal Servers provide challenge and authentication, and can be integrated into existing security infrastructure such as LDAP, RADIUS, and Active Directory.

ServSwitch Remote Access

In an existing Data Centre, KVM switches from various manufacturers are often found around the cabinets. Different systems require different access methods and are rarely compatible with each other. We can bring these systems together under a single point of access, providing unified control of all servers independent of KVM manufacturer. These solutions can provide remote as well as local access, and provide an excellent way to update an existing KVM Infrastructure.

GPS Time Servers

For all applications that require accurate time stamping, we have a range of networked GPS Time Servers, that provide time via the NTP protocol. These Time Servers are Stratum 1 providing +/- 100ms overall, and +/- 0.1µs GPS Source. They use an accurate universal atomic clock for reference, and are ideal for closed or secure networks. Time Servers feature automatic GPS lock and time sync and are ideal for time stamping CCTV, DVR recording, access control, and can be used in conjunction with KVM, and Secure Device Servers used for remote access.

Modems

Some appliances and servers still benefit from having direct analogue access via a modem. We have a range of analogue modems available, including stand alone, DIN Rail mounted and rack mounted solutions. We also have a range of remote access devices featuring analogue modems for serial access to console ports, with integrated power ports allowing you to reboot and access appliances remotely. These products are ideal to use with switches, routers, edge appliances, serial servers and any mains powered device that requires serial control.
