AlterPath OnSite
IT Infrastructure Management » Remote Site Management

The AlterPath™ OnSite provides remote site management for branch offices and remote sites with a small, inexpensive solution for controlling IT infrastructure devices such as networking equipment, servers, and devices that perform specific applications. By combining the functionality of Cyclades AlterPath ACS (console server) and AlterPath KVM/net (KVM over IP KVM switch), the AlterPath OnSite delivers KVM switch access, power control (through the AlterPath PM), and serial device access in an easy-to-use integrated platform.

* Access through built-in telephone modem, Ethernet connection or 2 PCMCIA slots that accepts additional interfaces (wireless, fiber, CDMA, GSM)
* Advanced security with multiple means of authentication and encryption
* Restricted user access and information
* Easy configuration of and access to IT assets through Web page (http, https), command line and on-screen display user interfaces
* Logs of user activity, software and configuration changes, alarms and server performance
* Collaboration with two users viewing KVM-managed devices simultaneously
* Quick install by wall mount, desk mount or rack mount

The OnSite's KVM over IP features enable complete secured control for graphical environments such as Microsoft Windows® platforms (including the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 platform). The OnSite's console management features include the ability to control UNIX-based, Linux-based, Solaris and IBM AIX servers as well as the newly introduced EMS protocols in Microsoft Windows Server 2003. Together the KVM over IP and console management features improve monitoring capabilities, allowing faster problem resolution and increased network uptime.
