Opengear's new uClinux-based console server lets enterprises get more use out of outdated rack-mounted Kernel-based Virtual Machine equipment.Opengear is shipping a uClinux-based console server designed for
enterprises with unused Kernel-based Virtual Machine infrastructure.
The KCS6000 KVM gateway console turns outdated rack-mounted
keyboards and LCD screens into stations where users can remotely
administer server equipment using an array of modern remote access
protocols, Opengear says.
According to Opengear, data centers and enterprise computer
rooms still contain more than $3 billion in KVM infrastructure. Yet,
KVM infrastructure is less than ideal or even useless for
administrating modern blade or virtual servers, Opengear says.
According to Opengear, in conjunction with legacy KVM setups, the
KCS6000 gateway can provide both in-band and out-of-band management of
a wide range of servers, networking gear, uninterruptible power
supplies, and other devices with serial or USB interfaces.
