AlterPath KVM/netPlus
Enterprise KVM over IP Solutions
The AlterPath™ KVM/netPlus family of
enterprise-class KVM over IP switches is
designed for local and remote server
administration with centralized management and
advanced security features. The AlterPath
KVM/netPlus is the industry's first KVM solution
to offer Cyclades AdaptiveKVMTM technology
(patent pending) that combines Microsoft®
Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) functionality
with KVM over IP access in a single device.
Applications:
• KVM switching and control
The AdaptiveKVM feature allows users to
manage most administrative tasks using the
efficient RDP protocol, delivering seamless
performance, even over low-bandwidth
connections. The AlterPath KVM/netPlus can
easily switch from RDP sessions to KVM over IP
sessions when Windows-based servers are down
or become disconnected from the IT production
network. The AlterPath KVM/netPlus provides a
cost-effective and simplified management
solution over low-bandwidth connections.
• Local and remote server administration
• RDP sessions to provide enhanced remote
performance – even over low-bandwidth connections
• Simultaneous local and remote access to servers and
workstations for multiple users
• Power and temperature management
Benefits:
• Global access anytime (KVM over IP)
• Simplified management
Fully integrated security features include server-
based authentication and support for RADIUS,
TACACS+, LDAP, Kerberos, NTLM, NIS and
Active Directory. In addition, the AlterPath
KVM/netPlus supports user access control lists
(ACLs) per port and user access logging. This
allows IT managers and administrators to manage
their servers with greater control and peace of
mind.
• Reduced IT operational costs and risks
• Advanced security features with centralized
authentication and 128-bit private key encryption
• Simple and inexpensive CAT5-based cabling
• Enterprise-level scalability with centralized management
• Future investment protection
The AlterPath KVM/netPlus can also be
combined with the AlterPath Manager, Cyclades
out-of-band infrastructure (OOBI) manager, to
provide users with a consolidated view of all
KVM ports, centralized security and data logging.
This reduces network maintenance costs and
provides easier and faster provisioning of the
OOBI.
Application Example
Available in 6 models, providing 1, 2 or 4 digital
channel access to 16 or 32 servers in 1U of rack
space, the AlterPath KVM/netPlus helps
streamline remote access to servers throughout
the IT infrastructure and includes the scalability
and security features to accomplish this objective.
The AlterPath KVM/netPlus reduces operational
costs and risks while increasing IT personnel
efficiency and productivity.
