KCS6104 console server

Kategorie: NEUE PRODUKTE, Secure Console Server

The KCS6000 KVM console server enables system administrators to manage all the ICT equipment in their data centers and computer rooms using their existing KVM and LCD drawers. From their existing KVM console at the rack side you can now control serial, USB and network devices, as well as legacy KVM computers.

KCS local management

With support of the KCS6000, your KVM equipment can now run a Firefox browser with Java programs in an embedded SUN JRE to locally connect to your VMWare servers, Cisco routers or IBM-RSA/ Dell-DRAC/ HP-iLO or SUN-ALOM service processors. You can run the embedded Network UPS Tools to manage power using the USB or serial control ports on the power supplies. Or with the embedded terminal emulator your KVM gear can connect to legacy serial console devices.

With the next generation KCS console access solution at the rack side, your local LCD console drawer and existing KVM gear can now monitor access and control the full spectrum of serial console and network connected consoles. The AAA security and tracking of all these accesses helps your organization conform to mandatory compliance requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley, GLBA and HIPAA. And the KCS has customizable monitoring, alerts and alarm management with extensive logging.

The KCS6000 thin client enables you to locally manage computers at the system level (BIOS, service processor, IPMI); operating level (VMWare, Windows, Linux, Solaris); right up to the applications layers (RDP, VNC, browser and ICA/Citrix clients). And you can control your headless infrastructure using the USB control ports, the serial consoles and management network ports and rich embedded management clients.

KCS connectors

IT administrators have a huge investment in their current KVM infrastructure and the majority of these KVM switches are analog-based. The KCS6000 brings new life to this KVM (and KVMoIP) equipment enabling it to manage power switches, to access the serial consoles on firewalls, and to control all the web browser managed devices over the LAN.

Secure In-band and Out-of-band Remote Access

The KCS6000 also full provides in band and out of band remote control facilities. You can operate locally at the rack, while monitoring and managing these operations from a remote site. Or you can access and control all the computers, datacomms and power devices from a remote site directly through the KCS6000 using your browser or the SDT Connector.

SDTConnector, the SDT Tunneling Java client shipping with each KCS6000 simplifies setting up secure connections through the KCS gateway and launching relevant control tools. With SDTConnector a remote administrator can securely tunnel through a KCS6000 and be connected to the DRAC on a selected Dell server, then start the Dell Open Manage client locally - all with one push of a button. SDTConnector interoperates with a range of popular control applications like OpenManage which give access to the full IPMI and service processor facilities; and which also interoperate with the leading enterprise management applications like ZENworks, OpenView, Microsoft MOM, BMC PATROL and NetIQ AppManager.

Remote management access to the KCS (using browsers, VNC, RDP, SSH, Telnet) is securely tunneled with strong selectable encryption (3DES, Blowfish, AES, Arcfour) and flexible authentication (Public Key, One-Time Password, Kerberos, LDAP, TACACS) and access control (trusted networks, dial back, restricted user access zones).
