Connector Adapters

Need remote access to servers and other serial managed devices in the rack? HPE Enterprise Serial Console Servers provide remote access to headless servers such as those running UNIX, Linux or Microsoft as well as serial managed devices such as network switches and routers from any workstation on the network or a local terminal. HPE Serial Console Servers support either 16 or 48 attached devices or servers through a single IP address using any SSH or telnet client. Up to two 16 Port Serial Console Servers or one 48 Port Serial Console Server can be mounted in a single "U" of rack space. The HPE Enterprise Serial Console Server will reconfigure, reboot and re-image remotely even if the primary data network is down to minimize disruption and downtime from a single console. With its powerful user access control and streamline management from the Virtual Media option, the HPE Serial Console Server grants access to specified users or even implements Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory authentication while allowing servers to access storage media. Security for servers is controlled by user names, passwords, and access rights configured and stored in non volatile memory in the Serial Console Server for up to 64 users or through RADIUS. The HPE Serial Console Servers offer the security, flexibility, and efficiency that meets the needs of the most demanding IT environments.

Convenient control options for single servers or entire server room.

HPE Enterprise Serial Console Servers offer secure local and remote access to all your devices using encryption, smart cards, remote authentication with multi-level access rights and detailed logging.

Multiple of users can be logged in at the same time to access and configure.

Want a switch for remote management of all your servers, network devices, and technology infrastructure? HPE Enterprise IP KVM switches can allow an administrator to manage up to 1024 servers across two tiers from a single local console in cascaded environments. When tiered with additional HPE switches application installations and upgrades can be pushed to any server from the local console or remotely. HPE IP KVM switches along with the IP Console Viewer allows remote access to multiple servers running various operating systems. Virtual Media allows a removable drive or ISO image to be remotely mapped to an attached server or a remote office. An intuitive Local Console User Interface provides menus for configuration, virtual media, display, security and upgrades that is the same as the On Board Web Interface (OBWI) used for remote management. Implement two-factor authentication to increase security in the data center with CAC compatibility.

Features

Improved Functionality, Performance, and Security to the Data Center

HPE Enterprise IP KVM switches provides Smart Card or Common Access Card (CAC) support to the server.
Tiering port. For companies requiring direct remote access in every rack can now aggregate local access to the IP Console Switches for a row of racks to a single console as well as at each rack giving them two local users.

New video compression allows 1600x1200 @ 60Hz or 1680 x 1050 @ 60Hz 16-bit color for remote sessions without impacting performance.

Access using SSH or Telnet compliant clients.

Up to (32) target server ports per switch for a wider range of rack density support.

Enhanced Remote Functionality for Quick and Easy Management

HPE Enterprise IP KVM switches includes full remote KVM functionality giving you remote KVM control of servers and serially attached devices at near local performance.

Easily load and update software and firmware from anywhere on the LAN or WAN when used with Virtual Media Interface Adapters.

iLO compatibility-Easily switch between remote KVM and iLO sessions directly from the IP Viewer software.

Remote KVM control of servers and serially attached devices at near local performance

Robust Local Console User Interface

HPE Enterprise IP KVM switches displays all system-related information on the console monitor. Same look and feel as the remote On-Board Web Interface (OBWI).

Programmable Scanning-An evaluation of system performance can be made by sequentially scanning any or all of the computers in the system. Programmable scanning allows you to determine which computers to include as well as the duration of the connection.

Configuration NVRAM-NVRAM (non-volatile RAM) makes it easy to set configuration information using commands entered from the keyboard. The NVRAM stores the resulting configuration until a user decision is made to change the information, even if the unit loses power.

Password Protection-For protection against unauthorized users, the switch box provides a local password option for security purposes as well as individual user authentication and access rights for remote users.

Flexible, Versatile Design

HPE Enterprise IP KVM switches may be mounted behind a HPE 1U Rackmount KVM Console such as the LCD8500 with slide rails provided with the switch. It can also be mounted in the side of an HPE rack with the included rails.

USB Virtual Media Interface Adapter supports servers without PS2 mouse and keyboard connections such as Integrity servers running Microsoft Windows.
