MergePoint Unity™ KVM over IP and Serial Console Switches

The Avocent MergePoint Unity switch includes both KVM over IP and Serial Console Management technology in a single appliance.

This unique combination provides IT Administrators a complete remote management solution to access and control servers, networking equipment, and other devices found in data centers and branch offices.

The MergePoint Unity switches enhance the in-band management typically done through the NIC of IT equipment by providing secure and remote Out-of-band connections directly to the physical KVM, USB, and Serial ports. This unified approach enables IT administrators a faster method to diagnose, reconfigure, or restore equipment to meet SLA’s and minimize downtime.

Avocent can help you answer questions like-
-How can I access a remote server that is having an OS or network connectivity issues?
-If a server drops off the network, how can you quickly determine the cause and restore connectivity?
-How can I access a remote server to restart a service or stop a runaway process if my remote software tools cannot make a connection?
-When working or remote server OS or application issues, how can I transfer data or load a new application if the network connection on that device is down or unavailable?
-How can I access the configuration port of a network router or switch that is offline without having to take my laptop and a serial cable into the datacenter?
-How can I reduce the need for my IT staff, consultants, and contractors to physically enter the datacenter without impacting their ability to do their work?
-How can I control who physically connects to the KVM, USB, and serial ports of the equipment I have in the datacenter? What kind of reports do I currently have to show this?
-If I want to provide remote access to branch offices that includes servers and network equipment, do I need to purchase multiple management appliances?
