The Cyclades Analog family of KVM switches provides IT professionals
with an enterprise-class KVM solution for managing Windows,
Sun and Linux/UNIX servers with simple cabling, advanced
security and expandable to meet future needs.
Cyclades KVM switch uses CAT5-based cabling, allowing a
cleaner cabling setup and access to servers located far
away from the KVM switch. CAT5 cabling allows you to use
the existing cabling infrastructure in the data center,
which makes system setup a snap. Supporting distances of
up to 500 ft (153 m) between the switch and the managed
servers, the Cyclades KVM switch is sure to reach even the
most remote server in the data center.
Security features include server-based authentication support
for RADIUS, TACACS+, LDAP, Kerberos, NTLM and Active Directory.
In addition, Cyclades KVM switch supports user access lists
per port and user access logging. This allows data center
managers and system administrators to manage their servers
with greater control and peace of mind.
Cascading support with centralized port management allows
IT managers to increase the number of managed servers as
needed (up to 1,024) without losing centralized configuration
and access, or the initial investment.
Available in 16 and 32-port models that fit in 1U of rack
space, Cyclades KVM switch (Analog) provide secure, scalable
and centralized access to servers. Using Cyclades KVM switches
for server management decreases operational and network
maintenance costs while increasing efficiency and productivity.
