Avocent's DSR800 is a cost effective 8-port KVM switch with remote access capability, designed for server access and control in lower-density applications and distributed locations.

This KVM OVER IP switch allows IT administrators to easily troubleshoot, or even reboot a server, at the rack, from the NOC, from their desk or from any location in the world, using standard TCP/IP connections. Patented OSCAR on-screen GUI provides local access and control and Avocent's DSView management software provides secure IP-based access anywhere, anytime.

DSView offers flexible access for IP-based server management from any location in the world. The DS management software, which consists of the DSView client, DSAuth server, DSAdmin and DSWebview, is the cornerstone of the DS series. With DSView, you can access all of your data center devices using a standard IP connection. The DSWebview feature provides secure, browser-based access to virtually any data center device via Avocent's DS Series product suite. Avocent's DSView interface provides secure 'point-and-click' control to any connected device, using IP connections.

For added user security, Avocent's DSAuth user authentication software stores permissions, topology and per-device contact information for the DS Series. It also performs third party authentication during connection to the switch.

Note: DSView and DSAuth are sold separately. See ordering details for more information.
