| Opengear Intros a New Line of IP Power Solutions Opengear has today released a new line of IP Power solutions with web browser control of AC power outlets. The IP Power 9258 strip has merged with Opengear's award winning CM4000 and IM4200 gateways to enable system administrators, network managers and help desks to securely monitor and control all their servers, PCs, routers, switches and devices. Servers at distant branch offices and remote customer sites can be securely power cycled, while the out-of-band control allows firewalls and network infrastructure at these sites to be reconfigured and rebooted remotely. Opengear's infrastructure management gateways support a wide range of third power strips, UPS supplies and embedded power control devices. Serial port controlled power strips can be accessed using their command line console, or the Management Console's power control tools. Network attached power control devices with browser controls can be securely accessed with Opengear's Secure Tunneling tool. Servers and appliances with embedded IPMI service processors or BMCs can also be accessed and controlled using the latest Opengear firmware. The IPMI proxy built into all the CM4000 and IM4200 gateways allows administrators to remotely cycle power and reboot servers when their operating system is unresponsive. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
