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.net™
KVM.net™ 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.net™ 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.net™ 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.net™ Manager, the user and the connected IP gateway, and the KVM.net™ 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.net™ 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.
