AlterPath 5000 Specifications

Features

View Consolidation

Web-based interface with SSL encryption provides access to
32,768 console ports
SSH command line interface for console access
Simultaneous access to serial console, KVM and KVM over IP,
server blades, and IPMI system interfaces with embedded
power-cycling capability
Console and user grouping allows simple management of access control
list and user views
Single sign on provides centralized authentication, authorization
and accounting

Remote Access

Integrated modem pool option provides dial backup to remote sites
when the production network is down
Health monitor periodically polls remote sites to ensure that out-of-band
access will be available when needed
Remote dial-out configuration is centralized to allow easy management
in large-scale remote branch office and telecom applications

Data Logging

Continuous online and offline data logging ensures console events
are captured
Secure data logging over authenticated SSH sessions provides security
for console log information
Console monitor automatically restores connections if they become
lost to ensure all data is captured
Continuous online and offline data logging provides data for
regulatory compliance like Sarbanes-Oxley

Event Management and Automation

Centralized monitoring of console messages scans for pre-defined
fault conditions
Automated e-mail notification alerts operators of fault conditions as
they happen
Integrated trouble ticketing system ensures events are acted upon
and resolved
Event tracking shows full history of all system events

Change and Configuration

Consolidated management of OOBI components
Automated provisioning of OOBI components
Firmware repository allows for automated upgrade of system firmware
for OOBI components
Centralized configuration management

Enterprise Integration and Security

Strong authentication options using existing enterprise authentication
servers using RADIUS, LDAP, Active Directory, TACACS+, Kerberos and NIS
Complete audit logs showing user access and session logs
Periodic data replication allows for complete system redundancy

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. Asingle mouse click or command line
interface command launches the appropriate user interface to connect to ITassets 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 ITassets 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 ITassets 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 ITasset is unavailable through the production network.
