Cyclades 5000 manual System Information, Features

AlterPath 5000 Specifications

View Consolidation - provides a centralized view of the OOBI console and KVM ports and presents a list of available connections to servers and network equipment, which is filtered for each user based on access control list policies. A single mouse click or command line interface command launches the appropriate user interface to connect to IT assets using serial console, KVM and KVM over IP, blade servers or service processors.

Secure, Centralized Access Point - provides a secure access point to the OOBI and centralizes all authentication, authorization and accounting functions.

Centralized Console Log - provides integrated console logging features for up to 2,048 data logging/console sessions to ensure that valuable pre-boot and diagnostic data received from the management ports of servers and network equipment is not lost. This console data can then be used for fault diagnosis and also provides a complete log of changes made through the console to help meet corporate and government standards in change management.

Remote Access - supports an option for integrated remote access modules to allow secure modem connections to remote IT assets during network outages. Configured to operate either as a backup to the network or as the primary connection method, the AlterPath Manager 5000 allows access to IT assets when the production network is down..

Change and Configuration Management - reduces the resources required to deploy and maintain OOBI components by automating routine tasks, such as change and configuration management. This allows the OOBI to be managed from a centralized point in the network.

Event Monitoring - provides an integrated event recognition and trouble ticket system. This allows the administrator to pre-program important console-related events such as system reboot, system crashes, and intrusion detection messages that cannot be detected using conventional monitoring tools. This ensures a fast response to critical events even when the network or IT asset is unavailable through the production network.
