Rose RackView/UltraConsole 1U LCD Drawer
By Robert Pavlakovic
Rose Electronics has recently
merged two appealing products into one ideal KVM solution to help
manage complicated rack mount installations. The
Rose 1U RackView
LCD/KVM drawer offers users the ability to reclaim precious
rack units by allowing true multi-platform control to an entire
server rack.
Rose RackView 1U LCD Drawer
Features & Benefits
The
RackView is
a rack mountable KVM station neatly fitted in a 1U or 2U compact
pull-out drawer. The
Rose RackView
mounted with the
UltraConsole
KVM switch offers the most up-to-date approach to manage data centers
with multiple computers and network accessories. The 1U
RackView KVM
drawer easily mounts anywhere within a standard 19" wide cabinet
which maximizes limited space and increases comfort for administrators.
The Driving force behind Roses RackView is the UltraConsole
KVM switch
The new
UltraConsole
multi-platform, single user KVM switch from
Rose Electronics
has simplified KVM management for data center operators by providing
KVM connectivity for a wider range of platforms. Most current
KVM switch products will support
multi-platform devices such as PS, Sun, UNIX, and MAC computers;
however, headless devices such as network equipment and servers
are forced to a separate serial console switch which ultimately
leaves yet another appliance to manage.
The affordable Rose
UltraConsole
KVM sets itself apart from standard
KVM switch products by allowing
Serial and Multi-platform devices to blend together within the same
KVM solution. The entire assortment of connected devices will be
controlled by a single user console which can consist of Sun, PS2,
VT100, or Mac.
UltraConsole Serial
KVM Support
Bulky adapters, which often add a point of failure, will not
be needed with the
UltraConsole
if users require switching capabilities with serial equipment.
A simple Rose
UltraCable
is all thats required in order to communicate with serial devices
attached to the KVM switch.
Serial access through the
UltraConsole
provides serial support to routers, Ethernet hubs, UNIX devices
and more. The
UltraConsole
also performs VT100/VT220 terminal emulation and provides up
to an eight-page scroll buffer.
The UltraConsole KVM is available in three distinct models
The Rose UltraConsole
KVM switch can easily handle a mixed platform environment and
allows IT administrators to securely manage multiple PC/Sun/Mac/Unix/Serial
servers.
The UltraConsole is available in 3 versions:
Port expansion allows
UltraConsole
KVM units to easily daisy-chain together with bussing cables
to make for a seamless KVM switch solution.
Rose RackView System Components
The
Rose RackView
LCD Drawer portion minus the
UltraConsole
KVM switch consists of a single Keyboard, Mouse, and Video Monitor.
Here is a detailed break-down of each quality RackView component.
LCD Monitor The
easy-glide
RackView KVM drawer contains a static free high-resolution
TFT/LCD monitor which provides crisp, clear images at resolutions
up to 1280 x 1024 @ 75Hz (17 version).
The RackView
LCD Monitor incorporates a standard OSD which allows for
fine-tuning monitor attributes such as color, contrast, brightness,
shape, and position of the display. Color LCD monitor dimensions
are featured in 15, 17, or 19 form factors.
Additional media connections supplied with the 19 LCD model
include PIP and 3 video inputs: HD15, RCA, and S-Video.
RackView
LCD supported video formats includes SVGA, VGA, XGA, and RGB.
Keyboard A full-sized PS2 or USB keyboard includes
a separate numeric keypad allowing extensive user control.
Mouse An integrated high-resolution trackball or touchpad
mouse is available for both PS2 and USB platforms.
Housing The 1U
RackView
chassis organizes and streamlines busy server rooms by rack
mounting the KVM station into a neatly fitted 1U compact pull-out
drawer. Two convenient thumb-screws fasten the front panel to
the chassis which conceals the unit when not in use. The 4-post
mounting system creates a solid platform for the attaching the
RackView LCD
drawer to most standard 19 server cabinets.
Rose products are designed
and engineered for dependability
The RackView/UltraConsole
combination features a centralized KVM station connected to four,
eight, or sixteen computers per chassis. The
UltraConsole
in itself can expand to as many as 1,000 devices mixed between computers
or serial machines.
The flash-upgradeable KVM on-screen menu system makes configuring
ports, naming computers, monitoring systems, and installation easy
with on-screen instructions. The simple and secure OSD menus will
ensure that the
Rose RackView
LCD KVM drawer
will streamline your data center and provide a central access point
for total system control.
