Secure Matrix Switching Applications

The SwitchView SC Switch and AMX

Matrix Switch

Requirement: A government analyst requires access to multiple targets within the same classifi cation network and access to multiple target devices that are connected to different classifi cation networks. This application also allows target devices to be located in a secure data center or multiple data centers where the various classifi cation networks can be kept separate.

Avocent Solution: The SwitchView SC switching system combined with the Avocent AMX® matrix switch provides you with secure access to three separate networks of varying classifi cation levels. Each network user will have three AMX user stations at the desktop connected with a SwitchView SC switch to ensure data integrity between the networks.

Secure Back-Racking Applications

LongView Extender

Requirement: A government agency requires an extra layer of security by removing the user’s physical access to the workstations.

Avocent Solution: The SwitchView SC switches combined with Avocent LongView® Extenders allow a user to sit at their desktop and access back-racked computers.
