Remote Access to Serial Devices
|
| The Avocent CCM console management appliances provide secure in-band and out-of-band connections to console ports of servers and serially managed devices such as network hubs, routers, switches, and power management systems. The console manager offers features such as offline history buffering and hardware break suppression which distinguish the Avocent console manager from simplistic terminal servers, which are often misused for this purpose.

Access and Manage CCM
with AVWorks Software |
|
Small to Mid-sized Data Centers
For small to mid-sized data centers, the CCM console management appliances may be configured for stand-alone operation. In this mode, user accounts and permissions may be stored within the CCM appliance or on an external RADIUS server. Events such as user logon may be obtained using third-party SNMP managers. Avocent AVWorks management software is provided for administrators that prefer GUI-based installation, configuration and session launching. Also supported by AVWorks is the
Autoview-R KVM-over-IP switch and SPC power controller.
Large Data Center Application
In large data centers, the CCM console management appliance is compatible with Avocent’s DSView 3 management software, which supports KVM switches and power controllers such as the DS1800, DSR®, and the
SPC. When configured as a DSView 3 appliance, authentication, access control, discovery, and audit, etc., are performed in a centralized manner by the DSView 3 server, which is based upon a high-availability hub and spoke architecture. Also supported by DSView 3 are Avocent’s IPMI management appliances.
