Cyclades OnSite
Branch Office Appliance
Advanced Out-of-Band Management for Branch and Remote Offices
Cyclades®OnSite branch office appliance provides both remote sites and branch offices with a
compact, cost-effective solution for managing IT assets. Unlike competitive offerings, the
Cyclades OnSite appliance has been designed specifically for co-located remote KVM and
console asset management. It may be used to access up to 16 traditional or headless servers,
networking devices, infrastructure components or any other device with a serial console or
KVM port. Cyclades OnSite appliance combines the functionality of Avocent’s KVM over IP
switches with console management features in a single appliance for effective, consolidated
remote management.
Cyclades OnSite appliance's KVM interface uses high performance KVM over IP technology; its
console management features include native support for Microsoft®Windows®2003 EMS
protocol, data buffering, event notifications, and direct access to any console ports. Using an
onboard Web browser interface, Cyclades OnSite appliance does not require special client
software.
