Software Upgrade Protection Product Overview

Avocent DSView software is the single-rack view needed for all your servers, embedded technologies, network equipment and power devices

Avocent® DSView™ Management Software helps your IT and data center operations teams overcome these challenges by providing secure sessions to remotely locate data center infrastructure controls. Through usage of innovative Avocent® appliances, off-network controls are network enabled for secured web-browser sessions via DSView:

Keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) controls of a standard server
Serial port (Telnet, Putty or proprietary) controls of a server, network, SAN or Rack PDU.
Proprietary connection to service processor
MIB-based controls to infrastructure like Intelligent Rack PDU.
As a stand-alone solution, DSView delivers secured web-browser enabled sessions of on-network infrastructure controls. As an IT integrated solution, DSView delivers secured web-browser enabled sessions to Virtual Machines (VMware, MS Hyper V and Citrix Xen).

As an industry proven secure, remote infrastructure management control solution, DSView has evolved a valued collection of product features, such as:

Secured, remote management control of data center infrastructure via KVM, serial and service processor for:
"Hands-on" management and operational state monitoring (device state, power consumption, temperature) in real-time and as a polled device threshold event
Control at the physical firmware level for bare metal OS provisioning.
Control at the physical host OS level for application sessions
Control at the logical VM instance level for virtualized OS and application sessions
Standards based encryption HTTPS/TLS/AES/SSH; out-of-box integration to enterprise authentication & authorization; session & event logging/reporting.
Threshold based event notification by site definition required on device parameters.
Logical data access bridges between virtual media data sources (software installation, off-site data, etc.) and remotely managed data center infrastructure
Hub and spoke solution architecture for disaster resistance, fail-over management and scalable solution deployment across complex data center topology
Supports analog and cellular modem based Out Of Band (OOB) access to the data center infrastructure in the event of primary network failure.

By consolidating all data center management functionality into a single interface, DSView® 3 management software delivers the complete data center control necessary for the 24/7 data center.

DSView 3 management software enables secure, out-of-band, centralized management of all connected IT and network devices in today’s often complex and geographically dispersed data centers.

When used in conjunction with KVM appliances, serial console appliances, service processor gateways and PDUs, the hardware and software combine to allows IT administrators to remotely access, monitor and control target devices on multiple platforms at numerous locations-anywhere, anytime.

Avocent DSView 3 management software provides data centers with secure, centralized management for physical and virtual IT assets. By allowing administrators to remotely diagnose and modify any managed device, regardless of the health or status of the OS or network connection, DSView 3 management software makes data center management and remote offices more accessible, extensible and secure.
