CPS - Serial Management 

 

Features and Benefits 

Software Features 

  • Complete KVM, Serial and Power Management Solution: The CPS works in unison with other Avocent appliances such as the DS1800, the DSR and the SPC to enable administrators to manage a wide range of data centre devices through local access at the rack or remote access over IP connections. 

  • Centralized Management: Avocent’s DS Management Software coordinates remote access to DS appliances, and attached devices, in centralized manner. The software suite consists of the DSView client, the DSAuth central authentication, access control and audit server, and DSAdmin for administration of DS user accounts and appliances. DSWebview provides browser-based users with a secure gateway into the DS environment. The DS Management Software is sold separately. 

  • Rock-solid Security: The CPS offers internal and external user authentication methods and port-specific access rights. 

  • Ease of Access: Avocent management software provides an explorer function that presents your servers within an intuitive graphical user interface, allowing you to locate and access your critical resources via a simple mouse click. With support for custom labels and icons, it is no longer necessary to recall cryptic machine names or IP addresses. 

  • Avocent Telnet Client: The CPS, which is compatible with third-party SSH and Telnet clients, comes complete with Avocent’s Java-based Telnet client. The supplied Telnet client offers file-based session logging, cut and paste, print screen, session history, macro support and a wide range of terminal emulations. 

  • Browser Access: DSWebview combines ease of Internet access with central security and management. 

  • Scalable: The CPS architecture is scalable rather than stackable; there are no restrictions on the number of DS appliances that can be added to an installation. 

  • Non-blocked Access: The CPS architecture supports simultaneous sessions to all serial ports.
