Question
Answer
How does Dominion KX II
differ from remote control
software?
When using Dominion KX II remotely, the interface,
at first glance, may seem similar to remote control
software such as pcAnywhereTM, Windows®
Terminal Services/Remote Desktop, VNC, etc.
However, because Dominion KX II is not a software
but a hardware solution, it’s much more powerful:
Hardware- and OS-independent – Dominion KX II
can be used to manage servers running many
popular OSs, including Intel®, Sun®, PowerPC
running Windows, Linux®, SolarisTM, etc.
State-independent/Agentless – Dominion KX II does
not require the managed server OS to be up and
running, nor does it require any special software to
be installed on the managed server.
Out-of-band – Even if the managed server’s own
network connection is unavailable, it can still be
managed through Dominion KX II.
BIOS-level access – Even if the server is hung at
boot up, requires booting to safe mode, or requires
system BIOS parameters to be altered, Dominion
KX II still works flawlessly to enable these
configurations to be made.
Can the Dominion KX II be
rack mounted?
Yes. The Dominion KX II ships standard with 19"
rack mount brackets. It can also be reverse rack
mounted so the server ports face forward.
How large is the Dominion KX
II?
Dominion KX II is only 1U high (except the KX2-864
and KX2-464, which are 2U), fits in a standard 19"
rack mount and is only 11.4" (29 cm) deep. The
Dominion KX2-832 and KX2-864 are 13.8" (36 cm)
deep.
