Answering the need for centralized KVM management in today's networked world
In today's networked world, there is a rising expectation of being able to access and control network devices from anywhere via IP. While KVM/IP access to your servers and devices provides you with unprecedented flexibility and out-of-band functionality, it also adds a new layer of complexity to network management.

Consolidating management of access to the IT infrastructure
The increased demand has led to greater need for a managed KVM network to consolidate control of access to servers and network devices. Centralized management of the IT infrastructure is a new management concept, rapidly becoming a fundamental part of any enterprise level business strategy.

Coping with the reality of distributed, heterogeneous server roomsThe market requires a solution that takes the reality of today's IT infrastructure into account, where reality is a constantly growing heterogeneous and not a homogeneous data center. The ability to leverage existing KVM infrastructure is a must in any comprehensive remote access management system.

The system administrator working in high-density server or network environments is looking for a solution that will provide:
  • Centralized monitoring of all the servers and network hardware from user workstations

  • Real-time, out-of-band BIOS level access and control

  • Administrative tools, including user administration, customized grouping, logging, auto discovery, built-in replication/redundancy, and real time error notification

  • Simultaneous, non-blocking, access by different users from different workstations

  • Full integration with existing network management tools

  • Redundant management, roll backs and replication systems that reduce the probability for single point of failure
Centralizing management with KVM.netŪ II
KVM.netŪ II addresses the need for secure, centralized, out-of-band, KVM/IP access to servers. It is designed for businesses with demanding IT requirements such as "lights-out" or distributed data centers and testing labs. It's designed to perform well on any data-center size or structure - from dozens to thousands of servers, whether distributed over WAN or on the same LAN.

Aggregating access for distributed users
KVM.netŪ II provides a unified console for administration, monitoring and control of all IT targets and users across geographic locations. It gives users a single point of access regardless of the physical KVM or network infrastructure. A unified, logical view of KVM infrastructure shields users from the complexities of a distributed topology. Users log on to a single IP address that securely routes them to their assigned targets, and that's all they see.

Securing remote access to servers and network devices
KVM.netŪ II is a highly secure system designed to align with existing authentication mechanisms. The system uses standard 128 bit SSL to secure sessions between the user and the KVM.netŪ II Manager, the user and the connected IP gateway, and the KVM.netŪ II Manager and the IP gateways. With each IP device operating independently, there is no single point of failure in the management system.

Preserving your KVM investment
KVM.netŪ II leverages existing installations and legacy systems with smarter management of different server/data center configurations. It's an open, vendor independent system, designed to preserve your existing KVM investment. It is the only available solution for access & control over mixed environments of 3rd party switches.
