KEY APC DIFFERENTIATORS

Integrated Power Management

Power management of APC Switched Rack PDUs allows the IT administrator to power on, power

off, and power cycle any connected server from the IP KVM user interface.

Supports Remote Software Updates/Patches

Virtual Media

allows users to remotely install software, patch applications and the OS, and

perform diagnostic testing.

APC InfraStruXure

Central Support

APC’s InfraStruXure Central allows customers to discover and manage APC KVM switches, with

support for both public and private InfraStruXure

Central networks.

Intelligent Switching from RDP/VNC Sessions to KVM over IP

When Windows-based servers are down or become disconnected from the IT production net-

work, the IP KVM integrates with Microsoft RDP and VNC for intelligent switching.

FACTORS TO CONSIDER

AvAilAbility

Do you worry about your servers going down and no means to access them?

• Access is available locally at the rack or remotely through an Ethernet network. Remote

access from any IP connection gives complete control of the server graphical interface.

How do you access remote servers?

• Secure remote administration tools allow you to troubleshoot, patch and restore IT assets

across the enterprise, whether they are close at hand or far away. APC KVM switches pro-

vide a comprehensive, remote administration system with enterprise-class security and a

single, consolidated user interface. Access is available through the integrated Web-based

user interface, APC Network Access Software and APC’s InfraStruXure

Central.

Security

Do you worry about who has access to your servers and networking equipment?

• An enhanced security framework integrates with existing security infrastructure and sup-

ports enterprise security standards. Video, mouse, and keyboard strokes and virtual media

sessions are encrypted for secure communications over public networks.

What types of authentication are supported?

• Local, LDAP, and Active Directory, authentication are supported.

regulAtory compliAnce

Do you worry about Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and identifying who is

accessing your information?

• Local and remote data and user access logging provide secure auditing via SNMP events

to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley.

• KVM switches are used to access servers that use a

graphical user interface (GUI)–based OS like Windows.

• Console port servers are used to access devices that

use a command line interface (CLI) like UNIX/Linux

servers and network devices such as routers, switches,

firewalls, and UPSs.
