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).

• 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
