From a single central console, the Dell Digital KVMs by Vertiv provide out-of-band access to devices in the rack even when the network is down or when the device OS crashes. Unlike software alternatives, the KVMs are uniquely capable of bringing a new server up from bare metal, diagnosing and restoring a failing device, updating firmware or enabling BIOS-level access, and patching a device independent of the state of the managed device or network.
The Digital switches give users the ability to securely access traditional servers remotely via their keyboard, video and mouse ports as well as the ability to manage these servers, and other devices like storage heads or network switches, regardless of whether the server or network is up and running. Devices are accessed either via a modem connection or over a TCP/IP network. These connections support DES, 3DES, AES or 128-bit SSL encryption of both KVM and Virtual Media sessions.
Support for currently shipping Dell KVM and KMM products by Vertiv. 3 years of Vertiv Basic Service, which includes Advanced Replacement, is included with your purchase. More information on support and service options.
