KSX II Overview
Raritan's Dominion KSX II is an enterprise-class, secure digital device
that provides a single integrated solution for remote KVM (keyboard,
video, mouse) server access and serial device management, as well as
power control from anywhere in the world from a web browser. At the
rack, the KSX II provides control of all KVM server and serial targets
from a single keyboard, monitor, and mouse. Total access and control of
all serial targets is also available from a single local serial port. The
integrated remote access capabilities of the KSX II provide full access
and control of your servers from a web browser.
KSX II is easily installed using standard UTP (Cat 5/5e/6) cabling. Its
advanced features include virtual media, up to 256-bit encryption, remote
power control, dual Ethernet, LDAP, RADIUS, Active Directory
®
, Syslog
integration, and web management. These features enable you to deliver
higher uptime, better productivity, and bulletproof security - any time from
anywhere.
KSX II products can operate as standalone devices and do not rely on a
central management device. For larger data centers and enterprises,
multiple KSX II devices can be integrated into a single logical solution
with other Raritan devices using Raritan's CommandCenter Secure
Gateway (CC-SG) management unit.
