Secure Console Server Rose electronics UltraConsole II

Console Server Management

Console servers provide a simple and secure solution for accessing, monitoring, and controlling distributed networks of servers and appliances, from a single site. They provide direct console and screen access for troubleshooting and diagnostics, and enable the infrastructure to be reconfigured and rebooted, ensuring availability at critical times.

UltraConsole ll™

The UltraConsole ll family of console servers enables system administrators and IT professionals to securely manage their data centers and networks from anywhere in the world. UCll provides reliable and affordable access to the serial console ports, and the graphical desktop screens of Windows, Sun and Linux servers. UCll can also monitor and control network infrastructure (switches, firewalls etc) and manage general appliances (PBXs, building security, power switches etc).

UltraConsole II™ Advantages . . .

Rose’s 25/7 philosophy is about total IT uptime, and total accessibility and control of systems to facilitate that uptime.
System and network managers are tasked with keeping their operations up and running on a continuous basis, and to affect this, they need total management capability at all times.

UltraConsole ll helps Managers to meet this need., and offers the latest in out-of-band console and secure RDP and VNC support. UltraConsole ll works with the widest range of third party network equipment, power controllers etc. and is entirely complementary to Rose’s highly regarded Industry standard enterprise KVM management systems.

UltraConsole ll is built on open source standards and its quality reflects the strength and security of it’s Linux platform, which has been optimized specifically for secure console management and remote control applications.

UltraConsole ll couples it’s solid operating system with a totally integrated hardware design. UCll runs on powerful ARM-based “System on Chip” technology with a very low component count, meaning higher reliability, lower power consumption and superb network and cryptographic performance.

UltraConsole ll has been optimized for stand-alone secure remote management with a simple Web browser interface for easy configuration, including setting security levels and user access privileges. Command line access to the Linux kernel is also supported.

UltraConsole ll is an excellent stand-alone access product, but can also be neatly integrated with higher-level enterprise (KiNETWORKS C-LIM, BMC, Tivoli, Openview) and open source (Conserver) management applications to provide a unified solution.

UltraConsole ll can also integrate at port level with Rose’s Enterprise KVM solutions. That means that Rose’s broad range of access and control products offer any User the opportunity to work in the way he finds most comfortable day by day, either in band or totally outside of the network, but with the security of knowing that there are redundant management access methods always available
