As IT infrastructures quickly expanded, the "console server" or "serial
console server" developed as a management tool. Corporate MIS
decision-makers originally adapted terminal servers for use in central
management solutions. However, with the overwhelming adoption of
Ethernet, specific needs emerged for console servers. Management
security became a crucial issue, and console servers began requiring
advanced authentication functions. Moreover, to cope with ever-
increasing numbers of servers and routers, utilities and other solutions
have developed to simplify centralized management and reduce the
workload required.
