Original Press Release:
ATEN Technology Targets Small and Medium Enterprise Market with Launch of New IP-Based CAT5 KVMs
IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 11 /-- ATEN Technology, Inc. today announced it has entered the small and medium enterprise (SME) market with the launch of three new IP-based KVM switches. These new IP CAT5 KVM products feature remote management functionality and provide secure local and remote access to up to 256 and 512 servers through cascading.
"Network administrators, now more than ever, require reliable and stable IP KVM switches to manage their mission-critical data centers," said John Owen, director of sales, ATEN Technology, Inc. "With ATEN IP KVMs, an IT staffer simply needs to travel to the nearest computer to diagnose a problem or reboot a critical data center device."
According to Owen, ATEN launched these new IP-based KVM products with the SME market in mind. "Organizations of all sizes are challenged with administering, supporting and monitoring their network infrastructure," said Owen. "Designing an environment to support remote management is imperative to running a business more efficiently. Our new IP KVM switches offer small and medium enterprises with unparalleled remote management functionality. They provide remote access to server racks and data centers from anywhere globally via a Web browser -- eliminating unnecessary travel and associated costs."
The new IP KVM switches feature out-of-band access to control servers even when the network is down. Also, the KVMs enable remote operators to log in via a Web browser or utilize standalone Windows or Java applications -- both of which allow a direct connection to the KVM bypassing the browser.
Available now, the new SME IP KVMs are competitively priced at $4,095.95 (KN2132), $5,495.95 (KN4116) and $6,695.95 (KN4132) and are backed by a competitive three-year warranty program:
-- 32-port IP KVM with support for one local and two remote users (KN2132)
-- 16-port IP KVM with support for one local and four remote users (KN4116)
-- 32-port IP KVM with support for one local and four remote users (KN4132)
ATEN Technology's IP KVMs are very useful for small and medium enterprises with remote offices. For example, an organization with four remote offices could optimize the 32 port unit that supports 4 IP users to enable up to four system administrators located at a company's headquarters to remotely access and configure servers at branch offices. The IP KVM switches also feature a Dual NIC (Network Interface Card) design that can be configured for redundant LAN or dual IP operation. If redundant LAN connection is enabled and the primary NIC goes offline, the secondary NIC is automatically and seamlessly engaged.
Added Owen: "Since the IP KVM switches allow for Power over the NET control, administrators can manage server's power status remotely. Plus, with out-of-band operation, users can access and control servers -- even when the network is down."
Other Highlights of the SME IP KVMs
-- Dual NIC design for redundant LAN operation in case of primary NIC failure
-- Mouse DynaSync for optimal mouse synchronization
-- Superior video quality of up to 1600 x 1200 at 60 Mhz and 24-bit color depth for remote sessions
-- Local console supports both PS/2 and USB keyboards and mice
-- Multi-platform support - Windows, Linux, Sun and VT100 based serial devices
-- Remote authentication support: RADIUS, LDAP, LDAPS, and Active Directory
