Avocent/Cyclades MergePoint Unity Switches includes both KVM over IP and Serial Console Management technology in a single appliance.
This unique combination provides IT Administrators a complete remote management solution to access and control servers, networking equipment, and other devices found in data centers and branch offices.
The MergePoint Unity switches enhance the in-band management typically done through the NIC of IT equipment by providing secure and remote Out-of-band connections directly to the physical KVM, USB, and Serial ports.
This unified approach enables IT administrators a faster method to diagnose, reconfigure, or restore equipment to meet SLA and minimize downtime.
Complete, full-featured remote server management from a single user interface
The ability to provide multiple connection or control points to IT equipment improves response, diagnosis, and resolution time.
Remote KVM and serial console access are both included in the design of the MergePoint Unity switches
Allows system and network admins to enhance their remote management and access capabilities with out-of-band access to servers, network equipment, and other devices with serial configuration or console ports from a single solution.
The MergePoint Unity switches can operate out of the box or can be managed by the DSView 3 software
Allows a single method to manage and access all the MergePoint Unity switches that exist
Allows admins a single browser interface to all the connected devices across multiple MergePoint Unity switches as well as any other connections or control points provided from other Avocent supported hardware.
