IT operations management specialist Avocent has released MergePoint Unity, a robust next-generation switching appliance that supports both KVM over IP and serial console management technology.
The new platform helps IT administrators manage remote equipment racks in data centres and offices through a single appliance and interface.
Through streamlined management of the multitude of devices in data centre racks, including servers, storage, networking and serial appliances, IT administrators can expect to see significant cost savings while dramatically reducing – or eliminating – the need for in-person management needs.
Avocent says MergePoint Unity is standards-based for maximum interoperability, and allows administrators to begin seeing immediate progress toward ROI following deployment.
MergePoint Unity switches are optimised for data centres or for branch data centres with a mix of KVM and serial targets. This combination offers customers the ability to manage more without requiring a need to purchase multiple pieces of hardware.
The device pairs complete platform flexibility with serial connectivity through a KVM appliance to extend the features offered by the current generation of Avocent DSR switches. The MergePoint Unity, in conjunction with DSView 3 management software, offers enterprise-class and branch data centres the industry’s most complete out-of-band management solution for remote device and equipment control.
