42U Product Update:
Raritan Upgrades CommandCenter Secure Gateway Appliance
Broomfield, CO — January 23, 2007: 42U, the
nation’s largest independent value-added reseller (VAR)
of datacenter and server management solutions, announces
that Raritan is releasing an upgrade to its CommandCenter
Secure Gateway appliance. This device provides centralized
management of servers and IT devices managed by
Raritan
KVM- and Serial-over-IP products and IT equipment with
embedded
service processors.
The 3.1 version of
CommandCenter Secure Gateway (CC-SG) includes many
new features that provide an improved user experience.
It comes with a revamped graphical user interface and
a user-defined Node View that enables IT administrators,
from a single screen, to view target servers and devices,
as well as all available remote access methods and remote
power management on/off/recycle options -- in-band and
out-of-band -- for each device.
From CC-SG’s centralized management dashboard, users
can define a target device’s access and power interfaces,
including a combination of the following:
• KVM and Serial access using
Raritan Dominion
and Raritan Paragon
products.
• Virtual KVM access through iLO/RiLOE II, Dell DRAC4
or IBM RSA II embedded solutions; and through software
applications, such as RDP, VNC and SSH.
• Power control for power on, off, and recycle through
power strips connected to Raritan Dominion products;
IPMI-enabled servers; and embedded power solutions,
such as iLO/RiLOE II, Dell DRAC4 or IBM RSA II.
Raritan also unveiled today a new CC-SG appliance model,
the CC-SG E1, for larger enterprise deployments. The
CC-SG E1, which comes in a 2U form factor, provides
dual processors, each with a dedicated memory chip;
dual power supply; and dual Ethernet connections for
redundancy or network gateway configurations. Special
node license packages are available for the E1, as well
as a cluster configuration for failover situations.
In addition to existing security attributes such as
128-bit encryption and third-party authentication through
Active Directory, TACACS+, LDAP, and RADIUS, the CommandCenter
Secure Gateway 3.1 will provide strong password support,
the ability to control concurrent user login privileges,
and will allow for enhanced compliance with the SAS70
auditing standard by “locking out” contact information.
