Remote Management with KVM overISDN, WAN, Internet
With LARA your Remote Maintenance of
Servers via common communication networks
will face a new Dimension.
Despite the fact that LARA (up to 4 units in1U) is
the smallest “KVM to IP-Extender” in the
Marketplace; in supporting IPMI based system
management LARA also sets a new
measurement in terms of integrated power
cycling and the hard reset capability.
Thereby LARA provides the highest level of
flexibility. Independent from the system software
of a server or a special client LARA fits easily
into existing IT-Environments and allows rapid
installation.
In using the LAN, ISDN, DSL or an analogue
modem, for the users almost every kind of data
communication is possible.
Operation
The device allows highly available server control,
intervention, configuration, monitoring or re-boot,
regardless the geographical location of the
administrator, just as being onsite.
Even in case of network failure the Server can
be accessed at any time out of band via ISDN-,
modem dialup or a second separate service
LAN. Ether for a single server or in using a large
matrix KVM-Switching System for a big number
of machines, using LARA literally faces now
bounds. The unit allows local control of
Keyboard, Video and Mouse as well as multiple
users remotely at the same time.

Security
The comprehensive security concept complies to
nearly every possible application in remote system
access. LARA guards every kind of data transfer with
the industries most secure encryption algorithms. A
unique user certificate can be generated, established
and signed at a trust centre of choice and then
uploaded onto LARA to efficiently prevent „Man-in the
Middle“-attacks or spying.
A sophisticated user management allows up to 255
individual user profiles witch can be consequently fine
tuned at group and single user level. Rights can be
assigned, changed or taken at any time remotely.
Irreversible data logging provides complete and un
broken documentation on any remote or local event.
Independence
LARA neither needs complicated configuration at the
server side, nor at the local client station. LARA
supports accelerated input devices as well as non-
accelerated. It can display all common VESA plots in
text and graphic mode up to a resolution of 1280 x
1024. LARA operates completely server OS
independent and does “not eat” CPU time at all. At
the client side is just a JAVA enabled standard Web-
browser needed to fully control and access remote
servers.
