ADDER Link INFINITY 1002

Adder Infinity @ DCGEARS

Overview:-

Perfect digital video, real time control

Using a spatially-lossless encoding system, with 1:1 pixel mapping, AdderLink Infinity provides pixel perfect and color accurate video with no artefacts. The digital video you receive is the same as the digital video leaving the remote computer.



Single CATx cable or fiber with immunity from interference

From the outset we designed AdderLink Infinity 1002 units around a highly robust signaling method. This vital core asset is what gives you the freedom to use the full variety of cable links that you typically find within an average structured cabling system. The result is that you can achieve reliable links, regardless of whether the cables are CAT5e, CAT6 or CAT7. The AdderLink Infinity also offers the option of up to 10km distances with fiber.

Unlimited extension distances

Extension distance is not limited to a single 100 meter cable length - If you need to extend further, simply add a 1GbE network device to achieve an additional 100 meters. This can be repeated many times.  The units are also fitted with SFP cages to accept fiber optic transceivers which enable much greater extension distances.

Support for MacPro (Dithered Video)

Some graphics cards use a technique called dithering to give the appearance of a deeper color depth than is actually the case. As a result, dithering can significantly increase the normal video data rates. ALIF1002T has a feature called Magic Eye which supports dithering without allowing it to degrade overall link performance.

USB 2.0 with class control

Enables connection of USB devices from mice and keyboards through to graphics tablets, jog shuttles, joysticks and 3D explorers, alongside mass storage devices. For applications where security is of high importance, the system has the ability to disable the use of non-HID devices, meaning there is no need to physically block USB ports to prevent the use of mass storage devices.

EDID management
Intelligent EDID management allows the true characteristics of the monitor to be passed back to the computer. This ensures perfect video display without the additional configuration.
Plug and Play.

Features

• Plug and play,
• 100m extension distance on single CATx; unlimited using standard IP network,
• 500m to 10km over fiber,
• Single link or single head configuration,
• 1920 x 1200@60Hz maximum resolution,

 Overview:-
The Merge Point Unity  switch is the next generation KVM over IP appliance replacing the award winning DSR product.

This industry leading appliance provides IT administrators a complete and secure, remote management solution to access and control servers, networking equipment and other devices found in data centers and branch offices.

Using both in-band and out-of-band tools together allows for a more fault-tolerant and complete, remote management solution. Remote, out-of-band connections complement traditional in-band/software tools to improve troubleshooting, shorten response times and help minimize unplanned downtime.

The Merge Point Unity appliances provide remote users the capabilities of a direct, physical connection to KVM, USB and serial ports of servers and other IT equipment from anywhere.

Features and Benefits

• Advanced Remote Management “ Provides secure and remote, out-of-band connections directly to the physical KVM, USB and serial ports to complement existing in-band software management tools

• Meet Service Level Agreements and Minimize Downtime “ Unified approach enables IT administrators a faster method to diagnose, reconfigure or restore equipment

• Virtual Media “ Enables USB media such as CD-ROMs, flash memory and external drives to be virtually attached to a remote server's USB port

• CAC/Smart Card Support “ Utilizing the virtual media capabilities remote or local users can map a USB-based smart card reader to the attached servers and authenticate using their smart cards

• Enhanced Serial Adapters “ Supports standard, remote SSH connections to the attached serial devices and includes electronic pin-out options for quick and easy connections to the console ports on Cisco network equipment

• Power Device Port “ Connect supported PDUs for integrated power control, measurement and reporting

• FIPS 140-2 Compliant Cryptography “ The FIPS mode of operation uses an embedded FIPS 140-2 certified OpenSSL cryptographic module (Certificate #1051)

ATEN KN4116v 16-Port KVM over IP Switch 1 local / 4 remote user access

ATEN KN4116v 16-Port KVM over IP Switch

Overview
Aten’s new generation of KVM over IP switches - KN series allows local and remote operators the ability to monitor and access their entire data center over the network using a web-based browser. In addition, they offer out-of-band access with external modem support for BIOS-level troubleshooting when the network is down.

To help you manage and control an entire data center, our KVM over IP switches support blade servers and chassis. With powerful new features such as Power Association– KVM ports can be associated with ATEN PDU power outlets for power management of servers from the KVM over IP switches’ user interface.

KVM over IP switches now support the new Control Center Video Session Recorder (CCVSR) software. The CCVSR records all operations made on servers accessed through KVM over IP switches. Every operation and change from the BIOS level to logging in, from running software applications to configuring the operating system- is recorded and saved to a secure video file as evidence, without exception.

The Virtual Media function lets you map to storage media on USB, hard disk and DVD/CD drives located on remote servers – allowing administrators to conduct file transfers, install applications, run O.S. updates, or perform diagnostics across a network with ease.

Enhanced capabilities of KVM over IP switches also include: a Message Board, Panel Array Mode™, Mouse DynaSync™, and Adapter ID.

With dual on-board NICs and dual power supplies, the KVM over IP switches are built for reliability, to ensure 24/7 availability of remote access to all server room computers. The switch´s design features Green IT solutions that include four temperature sensors to regulate up to six fans – run at optimum speeds – throttling down and speeding up depending on room temperature, reducing data center operational costs through a more efficient way of maintaining energy.

With Aten KVM over IP switches IT administrators can manage their server rooms and data centers from practically anywhere – minimizing travel costs and MTTR (Mean Time to Repair) – ensuring the highest availability of data center services possible.

Welcome To The KVM Switches Online @ DC Gears Blog

This blog is maintained by DC Gears (KVM Switches Online). We created this Blog to host an informal information source about KVM's, DCIM and related technology in a question and answer.
I will be addressing common questions that I receive so people like you can find the answers in a central location.

The topics will vary widely as we get asked questions from all across the spectrum. The questions will be as simple as "What would be the best type of KVM Switches / Extenders for this basic setup?" or as complex as "How can I control my servers in California from New York USA?" If you have a question and would like to see it answered on this blog send an email to sales@dcgears.com and we will reply to your email. If others can benefit from the answer we will post it here as well.


Thanks for checking out our Blog and if you have any feedback feel free to send it to us as well.
