Introduction

The B050-000 is a manufacturer-independent remote administration system. The B050-000 works as an integrated solution on your server system. Based on an embedded operating system, the B050-000 provides both exceptional stability and permanent availability independent of the present state of the server’s operating system. As a system administrator, you have entire control and location-independent remote access to react upon both critical incidents and cases of necessary maintenance.

Features

The B050-000 defines a new class of remote access devices . It combines digital remote access via IP networks with comprehensive and integrated system management.

The B050-000 offers convenient, remote KVM access and control via LAN or Inter- net. It captures, digitizes, and compresses video and transmits it with keyboard and mouse signals to and from a remote computer. Remote access and control software runs on its embedded processors only but not on mission critical servers, so that there is no interference with server operation or impact on network performance.

Furthermore, the B050-000 offers additional remote power management with the help of optional available devices. Features of the B050-000 are:

KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) access over IP or analog telephone line

No impact on server or network performance

Automatically senses video resolution for best possible screen capture

High-performance mouse tracking and synchronization

Port to connect a user console for direct analogous access to KVM device

Local Mouse suppression (only when using SUN’s Java Virtual Machine)
