Centralized point-of-control for IT personnel today is more than just a convenience - it is a necessity. Administrators must continue to manage more data center devices without increasing the number of people to manage those systems.

Avocent first introduced its patented KVM over IP switching solution four years ago. Our track record of innovation and support has resulted in the world's largest installed base of KVM over IP systems. Avocent KVM over IP solutions are managed by our DSView® 3 management software - a centralized software management system that integrates control of servers and network devices within an industry-standard security model.

Built on patented KVM over IP technology, DSView 3 software and DS Series appliances allow network administrators to use a single console for secure local and remote control of multiple servers, power and network devices.
