Original Press Release:
Remote Controlled: ATEN Technology Launches New CN8000 KVM on the NET(TM) with Virtual Media Support and Remote Power Control
LAS VEGAS, April 29 /- ATEN Technology, Inc., an innovator of high-quality KVM (keyboard/video/mouse) and remote connectivity products to centrally manage servers, network devices and IT infrastructure, today announced at Interop Las Vegas 2008 a new remote server management solution that gives network administrators remote access to KVM switches and servers via LAN, WAN or the Internet. The new CN8000 KVM on the NET(TM) is an advanced over-IP model that features dual interface support for both the server and console.
The CN8000 Virtual Media USB support enables users to remotely transfer out-of-band data through the connected switch to any server and perform diagnostic tests, download files and install programs or operating system patches directly from a Virtual Media connection. The CN8000 also offers both PS/2 and USB connections, and includes a modem port that provides OOBC (out-of-band-connectivity) for emergency access when a network is down.
"For organizations with multiple locations, remote management is not a luxury but a necessity. With the new CN8000 KVM on the NET, network administrators can connect the IP control unit to existing KVM switches to gain centralized control of remote servers and computers but also have the capability to manage their customers and do business remotely - even when the network goes down," said Sampson Yang, CEO, ATEN Technology, Inc. "In this day and age when security is paramount yet remote access is business-critical, the CN8000 fits the bill for both these IT needs. The added value of Virtual Media support makes this product even more beneficial and productive for SMBs to enterprise organizations."
According to Yang, the new CN8000 supports remote power control. "When connected to our PN0108 Power over the NET switch, the new CN8000 allows network administrators to remotely power off, power on, and reboot attached devices," he said.
