Dominion KSX Overview
Congratulations on your purchase of Dominion KSX, the complete solution for remote office administration.
Dominion KSX is the first hardware based, integrated solution to provide remote KVM access, serial device
management and power control in a single unit. With Dominion KSX, administrators may troubleshoot and control
remote office server closets as if physically present at the branch office. Unlike remote control software solutions,
Dominion KSX provides:
One consolidated view of all IT equipment deployed at branch office locations
A single, platform-independent solution offering centralized, integrated and secure control
Network independent access via built-in modem for emergency access even when the network is down
BIOS-level control of KVM equipment and console level control of serial devices
Raritan's Dominion KSX is designed specifically to make the management of your IT infrastructure at branch
locations easier, faster and more cost-effective. This innovative device combines secure console level access and
cold start power control of everything in your server closets. This means from anywhere you access the Web, you
can directly access, troubleshoot and even reboot all of your remote equipment including:
Domain Servers
File/Print Servers
Headless Servers
Network Appliances
Serial IT Equipment
Switches
Routers
Firewalls
Security Interfaces
Application Servers
Load Balancers
Environmental Control
