Cyclades® Console Servers

Securely consolidate all serial port access via a single interface

Securely Access Any Serial Device From Any Location

Cyclades Console Servers include security options for verifying users such as RADIUS, active directory and LDAP. Security benefits also include separate authentication to access the console server and individual ports. Available in 8- and 16-port models, the Cyclades CS4008 and CS4016 Console Servers let you consolidate access to serial devices with a single interface.

Consolidated access to serial devices such as servers, routers, switches and serial power devices eases management complexities in SMB environments, including server rooms and midsize data centers. The Cyclades appliances simplify access to serial devices with convenient management over an IP network via an onboard Web interface, at the rack through the local console port or dial-up with an external modem. A configuration wizard for first-time users eases installation.

Using a Linux-based operating system, this solution includes a command line interface (Linux Shell) that increases manageability. Cyclades Console Servers also support console management options such as Sun break-safe, break-over SSH support, offline data buffering, unlimited number of simultaneous sessions, simultaneous access on the same port (port sniffing) and event notification (email, pager and SNMP traps).
