Net management, courtesy Aten

Aten International introduced the CC2000 Control Center over the Net
management software as part of the centralized IT infrastructure management
solution (CITIMS). CC2000 offers a single portal for centralized management of
all devices managed through Altusen Over the Net products, including KVM Over
the Net, Serial Over the Net, and Power Over the Net. CC2000 has one master and
up to 31 slave servers. All of the CC2000 servers on the installation can view
and manage each other's devices, providing 24-hour reliability all year long.

The master-slave paradigm safeguards data transmissions through its built-in
redundancy factors, which include automated database backup of master, slaves
and devices; and real-time database updating. Redundancy ensures that should any
of the CC2000 servers go down, the CC2000 management system keeps functioning
since the redundant slave unit takes over to provide the required services until
the downed units comes back up. This double redundancy feature, in which each
slave server can have its own redundant slave, ensures uninterrupted access and
management of all installed devices.

In addition, the KVM port, serial port and power outlet of an IT device can
be associated and presented in the same web page, which enables IT
administrators to completely control an IT device from a single user interface.
