Aten eyes enterprise market

New Delhi: Aten International announced it is expanding further into the enterprise market with the launch of three new KVM Over the NET switches, part of the Altusen Enterprise KVM Solutions line. These new IP-based Cat 5 KVM products feature remote management functionality and provide secure local and remote access to up to 256 and 512 servers through cascading.

“Network administrators, now more than ever, require reliable and stable IP KVM switches to manage their mission-critical data centers,” said Kevin Chen, President, Aten International. “With Aten's KVM Over the NET, an IT staffer simply needs to travel to the nearest computer to diagnose a problem or reboot a critical data center device.”

According to Chen, Aten launched these new KVM Over the NET products with the enterprise market in mind. “Organizations of all sizes are challenged with administering, supporting and monitoring their network infrastructure,” said Chen. “For business to run more efficiently, it is imperative to design an environment that supports remote management. Our new KVM Over the NET switches offer enterprises of different scale with unparalleled remote management functionality. They provide remote access to server racks and data centers from anywhere globally via a web browser-eliminating unnecessary travel and associated costs.”

The new IP KVM switches feature out-of-band access to control servers even when the network is down. Also, the KVMs enable remote operators to log in via a Web browser or utilize standalone Windows or Java applications-both of which allow a direct connection to the KVM bypassing the browser.
