SmartRack 116

The SmartRacks are the most efficient and effective way to control and manage servers in a rack.

Process

The SmartRack series comes with either a 116 switch for local access or with a 116 IP switch for combined local and remote access.

To access servers, just slide out the drawer and flip up its top to display the large, high resolution 17” TFT LCD display.

The display is (VGA/SVGA/XGA/SXGA compatible) with front-panel high-quality controls and Touchpad for easy adjustment.

It features triple layered security and plug-and-play installation.

The SmartRack KVM switches are compatible with all major operating systems and can control any server’s brand and model, regardless of the server condition and network connectivity, covering the entire spectrum of crash scenarios. Use the KVM switch to control up to 16 servers in multiple platforms (PS/2, USB). Minicom’s innovative ROC technology has each computer/ server directly connected to the switch via a ROC using standard CAT5 cable at a distance of up to 30m/100ft in a star configuration.

Outcomes

The SmartRack 116 IP extends your KVM (keyboard, video, and mouse) from any computer or server over TCP/IP via LAN, WAN or Internet connection. Now you can control, monitor and manage up to 16 remote servers from wherever you are, inside or outside the organization. The SmartRack 116 IP is a cost-effective hardware solution, for secure remote KVM access & control of 16 computers/servers from the BIOS level - independent of the OS. One local analog or one remote digital IP user can access and control 16 multi-platforms (PS/2, USB) servers at a time.

Fast Facts

• Combined KVM switch and rack console for total control
• Supports multiple platforms (PS/2, USB) and mixed server environments
• Occupies a mere 1U of rack space, adjustable to various rack depths
• Sophisticated control options with multi-layered security
• Plug-and-play installation
• 17" TFT LCD display
  
  

Smart 108/116

The Smart 108/116 is a single-user analog KVM switch giving you the ability to control multiple computers or servers from a single keyboard/ video/mouse console. The rack mountable, 1U-sized switch features innovative ROC (RICC on cable) dongle technology that directly connects you to each server in the rack, eliminating cable clutter and the need for multiple consoles.

Outcomes

The Smart 108/116 is ideal for multiple server environments, from the small home office to the enterprise data center. Whatever the application, a company operating several servers can now connect them all to a single keyboard, video and mouse console, and operate them with 30m/100ft of range between the server and switch.

Fast Facts

• Control 8 or 16 servers from one keyboard / video / mouse console
• New ROC (RICC on Cable) technology
• Extend distance between computer and switch up to 30m/100ft

Phantom Specter

The Phantom Specter, the first ever distributed micro-sized KVM switch, is especially designed for single user KVM management of up to 63 servers on a single line making it the ideal solution for high density server and rack environments like server farms, data centers or corporate server rooms. The micro-sized Specter provides much more power than a conventional switch by freeing up rack space, eliminating cable clutter and maximizing your flexibility.

Process

The Phantom Specter features advanced On Screen Display (OSD) management, including multi-layered security, the most efficient way for monitoring, accessing and controlling your servers. You can also manage your Phantom system, via a serial port, using the Phantom's Control Software or any other third party software.

Phantom's Distributed Switching Technology (DST) divides the KVM switch into smaller subunits: a Manager and multiple Remote units. The Remote units can be placed inside the servers (PCI Cards) or on the side or back of the rack (Specter Units) where they occupy no rack space! Now you can dedicate more of your rack to servers instead of wasting space on switches.

Fast Facts

• Single user control of up to 63 servers on a single line
• Zero U rack space - more room for servers
• Advanced OSD management and multi-layered security
• Pure hardware solution - BIOS level access
• Low density CAT5 cabling that ends cable clutter
• Scalable - buy only what you need and add as you grow
• Flexible server/KVM console placement up to 110m/360ft away
• No external power supply at Specter units
• 3 year warranty
  
  

Phantom MX II

The revolutionary Phantom MXII KVM switching solution takes server management to a higher level of operation.

Now two Phantom users can simultaneously control and manage up to 63 servers in mixed, multi-platform environments (PS/2, SUN, RS-232, USB) from two separate KVM consoles.

This makes it an ideal solution for larger data centers that require more than one supervisor and need the flexibility of operating from both local and remote locations.

Process

The Phantom MX II features advanced On Screen Display (OSD) management, including multi-layered security, the most efficient way for monitoring, accessing and controlling your servers.

DX System

The DX is a KVM matrix management switch that provides 24/7, out-of-band BIOS level management for the high-density server room and data center. It is a secure, flexible, and supremely scalable centralized management solution. It enables up to eight IT managers to simultaneously access hundreds of servers and network devices from any location.

Process

The DX system provides five functions in one unified solution: KVM switching and control, Serial control, power management, user management and remote access. These functions are unified by Minicom's Advanced Integrated Management interface (AIM). AIM is a hardware embedded, Windows-like interface providing out-of-band BIOS level access, topology-independent viewing, and point-and-click management for all KVM and Serial hardware in the server environment.

The DX allows you to seamlessly cascade additional switch layers, allowing you to add hundreds of servers, all controlled from the same AIM interface. AIM ensures that users experience a transparent, topology-independent view of their servers and devices, without the complication of viewing the additional hardware or physical connections.

The DX features user-name and password authentication including up to 32 user profiles and 4 levels of user access rights for increased protection. Additional security is provided by the ability to relate user names to their designated servers regardless of changes to their port configuration.

The DXU user unit enables analog KVM capability up to a distance of 100m from the DX central unit. The optional DXU IP II user unit enables remote digital KVM/IP capability from anywhere in the world over the LAN or WAN supporting 128-bit SSL encryption.

Outcome

DX can be centrally managed by KVM.net® II. KVM.net® II is Minicom's centralized KVM/IP access management solution for the enterprise server and network environment. It is designed to command your entire IT infrastructure, wherever it may be in the world, from a single interface presenting a logical and unified view of your hardware.
