Remote Office Management …
KVM and Serial access in one box
The Dominion KSX difference
Dominion KSX is the first hardware-based, integrated solution to
provide remote KVM access, serial device management and power
control in a single unit. With Dominion KSX, it's as if you are
physically present at the branch office. Unlike remote control
software solutions, Dominion KSX provides:
"One consolidated view of all IT equipment deployed at branch
office locations
"A single, platform-independent solution offering centralized,
integrated and secure control
"Network-independent access via a built-in modem for emergency
access even when the network is down
"BIOS-level control of KVM equipment and console-level control
of serial devices
Secure, remote, out-of-band access and power control
of up to 16 servers and other network devices over IP
Raritan's Dominion KSX is designed specifically to make the
management of your IT infrastructure at branch locations easier,
faster, safer and more cost-effective. This innovative device combines
secure console-level access and cold-start power control of everything
in your server closets. This means from anywhere you access the Web,
you can directly access, troubleshoot and even reboot all of your remote
equipment including:
"Domain Servers "Serial IT Equipment
"Security Interfaces "File/Print Servers
"Switches "Application Servers
"Headless Servers "Routers
