Avocent's SPC power management over IP solution sets new standards in the way you securely monitor and manage power to your business-critical servers and other data center network devices.

Combined with Avocent's CPS serial-based network appliance, the SPC power distribution unit delivers advanced power management and security. The SPC provides enhanced security options, including password protection, port-specific access rights and port groupings. The CPS adds authentication and multiple levels of data encryption for advanced user security.

With DSView, you can access all of your data center devices from a single screen, making complex network access and control remarkably easier. 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.
