Centralised Management
		DSView 3 Management Software: Secure, Centralised Access and Control Avocent's DSView© 3 management software provides data centers with a secure, centralised management solution for all of your networked hardware and software-physical and virtual. DSView 3 software allows administrators to access, diagnose, and modify any network asset from any point on the globe, regardless of the health or status of the OS or the network connection to those devices. DSView 3 software makes your data center and remote offices more manageable, accessible, extensible, and secure. DSView 3 software provides a single, secure, browser-based interface to manage your entire data center environment, including the following: VMware Virtual Infrastructure, including Virtual Centers, ESX Servers and Virtual Machines Blade servers and enclosures Embedded service processors Rack-mounted servers Cyclades© ACS advanced console servers DSR© KVM over IP switches Cyclades PM Intelligent Power Distribution Units (IPDUs) MergePoint© Service Processor Management Devices DSView 3 Management Software Data Centre Control: Guidelines to achieve centralised management

DSView 3 software also provides fully-permissioned custom views for each user, graphical report building and task automation tools, and a holistic view of your network assets no other system can equal.

DSView 3 software's redundant "hub and spoke" architecture allows administrators to access every asset in your network from any networked PC or mobile device. DSView 3 software's out-of-band (OOB) features allow admins to diagnose and repair problems even when gateways, routers, or other IP connectivity is down.

Data centers evolve. Whether you're migrating to blades, experimenting with SANs, or simply trying out a new router, DSView 3 software can help you maintain control by integrating with new technologies and providing a consistent interface, regardless of your underlying infrastructure. DSView 3 software offers deep pre-built integration with HP Software, NetClarity, Uptime Devices, VMWare and others, and provides a free API for developers wishing to write custom software.

DSView 3 software requires no additional security procedures, authenticating against your existing internal or external standards-based services. All traffic is encrypted and the detailed activity logs provide a critical audit trail for issue resolution and regulatory compliance. By minimising the need for local access in the data center the remote management capabilities allow you to physically lock down sensitive machines for greater peace of mind.
