Typical Branch Office Environment

How to Control Branch Locations
Without Leaving Your Office

Managing branch offices and diverse device types without on-site personnel are critical

issues facing IT administrators today. The Avocent family of DSR

®

branch switches are

cost-effective KVM over IP appliances specifically designed for IT administrators who

need to easily troubleshoot, reboot or even power cycle servers or serial-based network

devices in branch offices.

Using standard IP connections, our patented KVM over IP

technology provides a single, centralized management interface to access and control

devices regardless of location or type. The DSR branch switches, built on field-proven

KVM over IP technology, combine external modem support and power control in a single

solution. This complete solution provides secure 24/7 remote access to critical network

devices in your branch offices. With remote access to diverse devices and a secure,

centralized management interface, the DSR branch switches help IT administrators

avoid costly on-site service calls to branch offices and improve access to business-

critical devices.
