Business-Critical Continuity TM

The Avocent MergePoint Unity switches include both KVM over IP and serial console management technology in a single appliance.

This unique combination provides IT administrators a complete remote management solution to access and control servers, networking equipment and other devices found in data centers and branch offices.

The MergePoint Unity switches enhance the in-band management typically done through the NIC of IT equipment by providing secure and remote out-of-band connections directly to the physical KVM, USB and serial ports. This unified approach enables IT administrators a faster method to diagnose, reconfigure or restore equipment to meet SLAs and minimize downtime.

Improve Remote Management and Staff Efficiency

• Reduce the time required to remotely diagnose/reconfigure/repair/restore servers as well as network devices and other hardware with serial configuration and/or management consoles.

• Complement in-band tools to create a more complete remote management solution to access servers and network equipment at remote locations.

• Virtual media enables remote USB connections to map CD-ROM and other USB mass storage devices directly to remote servers to transfer/copy files, load updates or install new applications, etc.

• Integrated serial device support allows secure SSH connections to the physical serial ports of devices attached to the MPUIQ-SRL module. The Cisco® configuration settings electronically pin out the module to enable a fast and direct connection to Cisco configuration ports, without the need for any additional external wiring adapters or special wiring.

Improve Physical Security

• Remote smart card/CAC reader support is provided for advanced security requirements. Using the virtual media capabilities of the MergePoint Unity switch, a smart card reader can be mapped from a desktop PC out to a remote server.

• Reduce the need to physically enter the data centers for local access and control.

The MergePoint Unity switch provides remote users the capabilities of a direct physical connection from anywhere to KVM, USB and serial ports of servers and other IT equipment.
