description

The KCS6000 KVM console server enables system administrators to manage all the ICT equipment in their data centers and computer rooms using their existing KVM and LCD drawers. Rack side KVM consoles can now spot problems with serial, USB and network connected devices, as well as legacy KVM computers, reducing the time and cost of diagnosis and remediation.

With support of the KCS6000, your KVM equipment can now run a Firefox browser with Java programs in an embedded SUN JRE to locally connect to your VMWare servers, Cisco routers or IBM-RSA/ Dell-DRAC/ HP-iLO or SUN-ALOM service processors. You can run the embedded Network UPS Tools to manage power using the USB or serial control ports on the power supplies. Or with the embedded terminal emulator your KVM gear can connect to legacy serial console devices.

With the next generation KCS console access solution at the rack side, your local LCD console drawer and existing KVM gear can now monitor access and control the full spectrum of serial console and network connected consoles. The AAA security and tracking of all these accesses helps your organization conform to mandatory compliance requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley, GLBA and HIPAA. And the KCS has customizable monitoring, alerts and alarm management with extensive logging.

The KCS6000 thin client enables you to locally manage computers at the system level (BIOS, service processor, IPMI); operating level (VMWare, Windows, Linux, Solaris); right up to the applications layers (RDP, VNC, browser and ICA/Citrix clients). And you can control your headless infrastructure using the USB control ports, the serial consoles and management network ports and rich embedded management clients.
