This centralized management software solution provides a single, secure, browser-based interface to manage your entire data center environment, including the following:

Avocent DSView 3 software also provides fully-permissioned custom views for each user, graphical report building and task automation tools, and a holistic view of your network assets no other system can equal.  This software’s redundant “hub and spoke” architecture allows administrators to access every asset in your network from any networked PC or mobile device. DSView 3 software’s out-of-band (OOB) features allow administrators to diagnose and repair problems even when gateways, routers, or other IP connectivity is down.

Whether you’re migrating to blades, experimenting with SANs, or simply trying out a new router, DSView 3 software can help you maintain control by integrating with new technologies and providing a consistent interface, regardless of your underlying infrastructure. DSView 3 software offers deep pre-built integration with HP Software, NetClarity, Uptime Devices, VMWare and others, and provides a free API for developers wishing to write custom software.

DSView 3 software requires no additional security procedures, authenticating against your existing internal or external standards-based services. All traffic is encrypted and the detailed activity logs provide a critical audit trail for issue resolution and regulatory compliance. By minimizing the need for local access in the data center the remote management capabilities allow you to physically lock down sensitive machines for greater peace of mind.
