Cyclades ACS Console Servers 32-port

Overview 

Cyclades® ACS family of advanced console servers enables IT professionals and network operations center (NOC) personnel the ability to perform secure remote data center management of IT assets from anywhere in the world.

Using a hardened Linux® operating system, Cyclades ACS console servers provide optimal performance, security and reliability. When deployed with DSView® 3 management software, Cyclades ACS console servers offer enterprise and telecommunication environments a complete, centralized management solution.

For seamless power control of managed IT devices, Cyclades ACS console servers easily integrate with Cyclades PM intelligent power distribution units (IPDUs) and selected third-party power products. Supported power products may be centrally managed through DSView 3 management software.

Cyclades ACS console servers offer the industry’s first Enhanced Security Framework that provides preset security profiles (secure, moderate and open) and the flexibility for IT managers to customize security profiles to comply with existing network security policies. In addition, Cyclades ACS console servers offer strong authentication technology with One-Time Password (OTP) and Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), two features that ensure only authorized users gain access to enterprise resources.

Cyclades ACS appliance offers advanced hardware features to meet the requirements of even the most demanding data center management applications. PCMCIA slots allow for enhanced functionality with support for many interface cards, such as modem (V.92 and ISDN), Ethernet, fast Ethernet (fiber optic) and wireless LAN (GSM, CDMA and GPRS). Cyclades ACS appliances also allow for automatic Ethernet failover by using a PCMCIA slot as a second Ethernet port, hence providing Ethernet redundancy. (Click here for a list of supported PC cards.)

Available in 1-, 4-, 8-, 16-, 32- and 48-port models that fit in 1U of rack space, Cyclades ACS console servers help maximize IT asset productivity while providing scalability and reducing operational costs.
