Aten Switches for Improved Server Management

Aten, introduced a new series of Altusen KVM Over the NET switches - KN4140v, KN4124v, KN2140v and KN2124v.

These switches allow one local and up to four remote operators to monitor and control up to 40 servers on a single level, or control up to 640 servers in a two-level cascade. In addition, they offer out-of-band access, including external modem support, for BIOS-level troubleshooting when the network is down, the company said.

"Altusen KVM Over the NET switches are designed with unique and powerful features that enable administrators to manage their entire server room and data center devices easily and conveniently from anywhere in the world. These switches allow corporations to minimize travel costs and Mean Time to Repair, and to ensure the highest availability of data center services possible," said Kevin Chen, President, Aten International.

Featuring dual gigabit Ethernet port and dual power supplies, these switches ensure the highest rate of availability for server room and data center services. Additionally, the availability of four temperature sensors to regulate up to six fans reduces data center IT operation costs through a more efficient use of energy.

The IT administrators can map DVD/CD-ROMs and other storage media to a remote server support with the Virtual Media function. It also facilitates file transfers, application and OS patches, and diagnostics remotely.
