Avocent DSR8030 KVM Switch

Product Overview

Overview

KVM over IP switch with BIOS-level control of all connected servers and serial-based devices in your data center – also includes Virtual Media.

The 16-port DSR®8030 KVM over IP switch provides eight simultaneous digital paths for remote access and BIOS-level control of all connected servers and serial-based devices in your data center. You can remotely power cycle connected devices and you have external modem support when the network is down. The DSR8030 switch features an on-board Web interface compatible with Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Firefox or Netscape for access and control of your servers over IP.

Using the DSView® 3 management software to manage the DSR8030 switch adds the benefit of Virtual Media. This lets you remotely load software for file transfers, application and OS patches, and diagnostic testing.

DSView 3 software also gives you a secure method to access and control your servers and network devices from a single interface. Its hub and spoke architecture provides failover access authentication. Users authenticate to a central management server (the hub) or one of 15 mirror servers (the spokes). SNMP and IPMI support are also provided.
