Avocent-Apex
ViewPoint KVM Switches & Solutions
During its prime, the ViewPoint
KVM switch solution
provided secure, centralized access to mission-critical
servers and devices. Unfortunately, the enterprise-level
KVM switch manufacturer
Avocent has announced end-of-life or product discontinuations
to the entire Apex ViewPoint
KVM switch product
line. Avocent, formerly Apex, has since moved on to
more advanced KVM switches
which offer superior control for mission-critical systems.

ELC-6464VP
End-of-life announcements for several
1st generation enterprise-level Avocent
KVM switches will often
leave customers without a solution when technical problems
arise or if expansion is necessary.
42U Sales Engineers
are here to assist Apex ViewPoint customers to help
find product replacements and upgrades for discontinued
ViewPoint KVM switches.
Competitive KVM upgrades for the latest technology include
Cat 5 KVM switches as well
as KVM over IP Digital
technology. New Avocent
KVM switches available for ViewPoint replacement
would include the Avocent AMX
Cat 5 based KVM switch
as well as the DSR KVM
over IP product line.
To further assist users with upgrading
and replacing discontinued KVM products,
42U is offering a port
buy-back program to help users recoup a part of the
initial KVM investment. Port buy-back allows ViewPoint
users to trade-in old KVM equipment and receive credit
for new KVM switches
that are purchased through
42U.
The KVM buy-back program works on a
Port for Port basis and allows users to combine ports
on more than one KVM Switch.
For example: if 2 KVM Switches
with a total of 32-Ports are being considered for port
buy-back, users will receive credit for all 32-Ports
if a new KVM system totaling 32 ports or more is purchased.
For more information regarding ViewPoint
Competitive Upgrades or our port buy-back program, please
complete our simple Upgrade
Project Evaluation Form and tell us about your environment.
Please include details concerning which
KVM switch product(s)
you would like to upgrade from. As always, feel free
to contact us via our Contact Form or

at 1-800-NET2NET (800-638-2638).

Avocent-Apex ViewPoint 64
Avocent-Apex ViewPoint 64 provides large enterprise
data centers, network operations, and server farms with
efficient and reliable "out-of-band" server management.
This matrix switch is fully compatible with the Avocent-Apex
ViewPoint 32, and extends the ViewPoint family capabilities
by allowing up to 64 users to view, directly control,
and manage activity on up to thousands of servers.
The ViewPoint 64 matrix switch allows multiple users
to control large enterprise computing environments such
as those found at Internet Service Providers (ISPs),
server farms and large network operating centers (NOCs).
ViewPoint 64 is a valuable tool for day-to-day network
administration, as well as troubleshooting in the event
of system problems. The system provides:
Efficient Server Management
- Flexibility - Avocent-Apex ViewPoint 64 provides
out-of-band and non-intrusive access to a wide range
of key network servers, and when teamed with Apex's
new Emerge 2000 remote server management device,
provides universal access to large numbers of servers
from local and remote locations.
- Compatibility - Avocent-Apex ViewPoint 64 is
compatible with a variety of network operating systems
and easily integrates with existing Avocent Outlook
switches that are used by major server manufacturers.
- Greater server density - Avocent-Apex ViewPoint
64's innovative new rack-mounted package and cabling
scheme allows IT managers to manage the physical
aspects of their server rooms efficiently, saving
valuable data center real estate and allowing for
more organized server growth.

and system broadcast functions for complete control
over your network hardware features

network resources.

and future compatibility

Take total control of your network data center!
Corporate network administrators have complete control
of their networks with Avocent-Apex ViewPoint, an integrated,
seamless switching system. As many as 16 network administrators
can have access to up to 32 mission-critical services
to ensure smooth network operations. This makes Avocent-Apex
ViewPoint a valuable tool for day-to-day network administration,
as well as troubleshooting in the event of system problems.
Avocent-Apex ViewPoint also uses Apex's on-screen
interface, OSCAR (On-Screen Configuration and Activity
Reporting), which provides visual feedback on system
connections as they occur. Even if a network is completely
down, equipment malfunctions can be quickly isolated,
identified, and corrected. And the Avocent-Apex ViewPoint
matrix switch gives out-of-band access to a wide range
of network elements such as file servers, PBX monitors,
and database engines.
For added flexibility, Avocent-Apex ViewPoint also
features an Administrative and diagnostic terminal connection.

AGENT’s purpose is to provide easier administration
of the ViewPoint matrix switch. Agent (Advanced, Graphical,
Enterprise, Network, Tool) is software that provides
a graphical interface for configuration, user, security,
and administration management of Viewpoint matrix switches.
All features formerly available through the Administration
Console have been ported to the Agent software. Using
Agent, the system administrator has control at the server
level over Viewpoint configurations and security. The
administrator can use Agent to organize and synchronize
server control both in-band and out-of-band.
