DSView 3 Software

The Heart of IP Control For Every IP-Enabled Device In Your Data Center

DSView 3 extends the Avocent patented KVM over IP centralized management system with a unique benefit in the KVM industry — a hub and spoke architecture. This innovative system increases KVM switching manageability and security and gives data centers a fully redundant system with built-in backup/failover capabilities.

• Selectable encryption modes ... match your security policy
  • Even a video encryption mode
• The Hub is the central administrative piece
  • The Spoke architecture provides backup/failover capabilities
  • Allows you to maintain accurate user permission rights
  • Provides detailed event logs across multiple sites and user groups

The Avocent DS Series suite of GUI/Serial KVM Switches also includes specialized products. These are each discussed on separate pages:

• DS Series Digital Switches for a brief discussion of these IP Switches
• 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
• Alhough not an Avocent product, you can do Remote Monitoring of the health of remote data centers and equipment

Virtual media support furthers physical security by allowing administrators to remotely load software by mapping a local removable media or mass storage device to a remote server (requires DSRxx3x switches).

With DSView 3 management software lets you customize the interface based on location, operating system, department, application, or other custom categories. System Administrators can be at their desk, across the hall or anywhere in the world and configure, manage, upgrade and backup any device in their data center from a single interface.

DSView 3 Management Software puts the "Power in your hands" to ensure the smooth operation and optimal performance of your IT server environment, virtually putting you anywhere you need to be at anytime.
