Cyclades Advanced Console Servers
In-Band and Out-of-Band Control ... CLI and GUI in One Box
With Cyclades now an Avocent © Company, users can have the best of both worlds. Avocent's DSView 3 Software gives administrators In-Band Control so that they can easily access and manage servers, network gear, telco and power devices from a single In-Band, GUI Interface.
But for over 8,000 companies and many thousands of administrators, Cyclades and CLI is the only way to go. The Cyclades family of products allow the integration of all of the equipment in the data center, regardless of the management platform, into its out-of-band management solution.
In March 2006, Avocent acquired Cyclades. Avocent Corporation is the leading supplier of connectivity solutions for enterprise data centers, service providers and financial institutions worldwide. Branded products include switching, extension, intelligent platform management interface (IPMI), remote access and video display solutions. Avocent solutions provide complete and secure in-band and out-of-band connectivity — even if the network is down.
