Avocent DSR4020
Avocent DSR4020 KVM over IP Solutions

The Avocent 16-port, 4 digital pathway DSR4020 KVM over IP switch provides 4 simultaneous users with remote BIOS-level control of sixteen PS/2, USB, Sun and serial based computers and network devices over UTP cabling. The advanced DSRIQ server interface cables implemented with each computer automatically assigns and maintains unique server names for each attached devices along with providing users with a reduction in cable clutter. Local USB and PS2 ports provide users with access to all attached computers at the rack. Also included on the DSR4020 is a port to enable users to remotely power cycle down servers and an external modem port for fail-safe remote access if the network is down. DSView 3 management software provides users with failover authentication by implementing a hub and spoke architecture. This unique and secure KVM over IP access method allows DSR users to authenticate with a central management Hub server or one of 15 mirror Spoke servers.

The 16-port DSR4020 switch provides local and remote access for at the rack and remote data center management. The switch includes four digital paths for simultaneous access of up to four remote servers; the ability to remotely power cycle connected devices; and external modem support when the network is down.

Combined with DSView 3 management software, the Avocent DSR4020 switch provides browser-based access to any connected device in your data center. DSView 3 software, with hub and spoke architecture, increases security with failover authentication. Users authenticate to a central management server (the hub) or one of 15 mirror servers (the spokes). SNMP and IPMI support are also provided.
