APC KVM Switches
APC CAT5 analog and IP KVM switches integrate Keyboard, Video and Mouse (KVM) access, APC power control and external modems to provide
access to critical IT equipment - even when network and operating systems are down. Leveraging just one keyboard, monitor, and mouse
also reduces energy expenses and hardware costs, simplifies cabling, and frees up space within the IT environment. Because they connect
directly to the keyboard, monitor, and mouse ports (commonly referred to as 'Out-of-Band'), APC IP KVM switches allow users to troubleshoot
servers and diagnose problems through POST and BIOS-level access at any location from anywhere in the world. This minimizes downtime
by providing local and remote secure access to connected Windows, Sun, and Linux/Unix servers. All IP KVM switches are IPv6/IPv4 network
compatible and support Virtual Media - and if cascaded together, allow access for up to 512 servers. All APC KVM switches are supported by
APC Network Access Software and InfraStruxure® Central and provide integrated power management with APC Switched Rack PDUs.
Virtual Media
1
saves time and improves security by mapping CD-ROMs and other storage media to a remote server without leaving the
office. For example, you can redirect your local media (USB, CD, Local drive etc) to the remote server, perform application and OS patches
remotely and reboot the server to a local image for diagnostic purposes.
APPLICATIONS
Who?
Data Center Managers
(Windows/Linux Server Administrators)
Telecom Managers
Test Lab Managers
Need
Remote access to configure changes,
monitor system, update/patch software
Ability to access out-of-band
information, configure changes, receive
alarms, and system messages.
Setup and maintain testing environments,
perform tests with real-time video.
Where?
Anywhere there is a need to manage more than one server within a rack and
a desire to minimize the number of monitors, keyboards, and mice needed to
manage the environment.

allows technicians to take care of routine maintenance and address
server problems without getting up from their desks.
Enhanced Security Framework
Integration with authentication servers and existing security infrastructure.
Flexible Administration Tools
Integrated Web Interface and APC Network Access Software provide browser-level
access and an intuitive split screen interface for easy discovery, navigation and
management of APC IP KVM and CAT5 switches.
• Reduces Mean Time To Recovery (MTTR) by monitoring health to
predict failures, diagnose issues remotely and to restore to working
operation quickly.
• Expands
control by providing access through a single interface -
anywhere and at anytime - as if you were right there.
• Improves
availability by reducing unscheduled downtime through
predictive monitoring and leveraging centralized technical expertise
easily.
• Increases agility by speeding deployment, ensuring a high degree of
system compatibility, and by adapting to changing requirements easily.
• Lowers Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by reducing on-site visits that
minimize maintenance costs, and protect investments without the
need for additional products or training.
• Extends
security by restricting access using directory authentication,
encrypting sensitive information ‘on-the-wire’ and tracking
administration activity.
