and management from anywhere, anytime.
Decrease IT Operational Costs and Increase IT Productivity
Effective out-of-band management reduces IT operational costs and risks while increasing IT asset and personnel
productivity. Out-of-band management tools by Avocent enable administrators to access and troubleshoot IT assets
even if the production network is down. Access is available through a variety of methods (LANs, WANs, cell
phones – GSM or CDMA, Internet, PSTN), so that management is not limited by a single network or a single point
of failure.
Cyclades PM IPDUs
Cyclades PM IPDUs work in conjunction with Cyclades ACS advanced console servers, DSR switches and DSView
3 management software to provide secure, reliable power management and fast problem resolution. IT professio-
nals can switch power off and on, restarting devices through console management sessions, for example, from any
location via Telnet, Secure Shell (SSHv2, SNMP) or a secure Web session.
