Avocent Virtual Advanced Console Server 6000

Avocent Virtual Advanced Console Server 6000 (ACS v6000) can be used for secure, remote data centre and out-of-band management of virtual assets, and grants authorised users access to enterprise resources, keeping virtual assets available 24/7 while enforcing strict security measures.

The virtual appliance enables dependable connectivity and management of virtual IT assets, such as virtual machines running Windows EMS, Unix, Linux and Solaris. It also enables the end user to manage these virtual assets in the same manner as physical assets such as routers, switches, public branch exchange (PBX) telecommunications equipment (DSU/CSU) and serial power devices. It combines the access and control for both physical and virtual servers into one system.

Users interested in hybrid console management can also now run the virtual appliance alongside traditional ACS devices in their data centres, which helps maximise IT asset productivity while consolidating distributed devices within the environment and reducing operational costs.
