DS Series Digital Switches
Multi-platform, Multi-location, Multi-device Access and Control
Centralized point-of-control for IT personnel today is more than just a convenience — it is a necessity. Administrators must continue to manage more data center devices without increasing the number of people to manage those systems.
Built on patented KVM over IP technology, DSView 3 software and DS Series appliances allow network administrators to use a single console for secure local and remote control of multiple servers, power and network devices.
The Avocent DS Series suite of GUI/Serial KVM Switches also includes specialized products. These are each discussed on separate pages:
- Cyclades Advanced Console Servers for headless/Unix, console-level access
- IPMI Management for IP monitoring of temperature, fan and voltage
- Avocent Remote ReBoot PDU for remote power control
- Virtual Media Switches allow mapping a local removable media or mass storage device to a remote server
- You can also do Remote Monitoring of the health of data centers and equipment
The DS Series provides powerful and flexible control:
- Access to all data center devices through industry standard TCP/IP connections
- Dramatic reduction in cable volume with DSRIQ Smart Cable ... Cat5 from target device to Switch
- Optimal scalability and flexibility
- The best of both worlds; analog KVM access at the rack and IP out-of-band management at the desk, in the NOC or from any location in the world
