Avocent Cyclades ACS 6000 Series Advanced Console Servers

A next generation
console management solution

The Cyclades® ACS 6000 series of advanced console servers integrates cutting edge technologies, adaptive services and secure enterprise communications. They offer IT professionals and network operations center (NOC) personnel the ability to perform secure, remote data center management and out-of-band management of IT assets from anywhere in the world.

Using a hardened Linux® operating system, Cyclades ACS 6000 console servers provide optimal performance, security and reliability. Using DSView® 3 management software and integrated power, they provide a complete out-of-band management solution.

High-performance design and advanced features
The Cyclades ACS 6000 series of advanced console servers features a high-speed processor platform with dual Gigabit-Ethernet ports for redundancy, optional built-in modem and two 16- and 32-bit PC card options. Other benefits include an internal temperature sensor for device level monitoring, and configurable pin-outs for serial ports.

The ACS 6000 series also offers software features to meet the requirements of the most demanding data center management applications. Features include automated discovery tools to ease identification of servers, routers, switches or PBX connected to any serial port. This saves time at initial configuration and installation. To comply with existing data center network access policy, the ACS 6000 console servers provide customizable multiple access levels for secure management.

The ACS 6000 series provides a complete solution for secure remote control with features such as enhanced security, data logging and event monitoring. In addition, the console servers support next generation network standards such as Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). Available in 16-, 32- and 48-port models, the 6000 series console servers fit in 1U of rack space with single and dual AC and DC power options. With and without modem, the console servers help maximize IT asset productivity, provide scalability and reduce operational costs.
