APPLICATION BRIEF - SERIAL SOLUTIONS
Cyclades® CS Console Servers
SECURELY ACCESS ANY SERIAL DEVICE
Consolidated access to serial devices such as servers, routers, switches and serial
power units ease management complexities and security concerns in evolving
computing environments. The Cyclades CS console servers simplify access to serial
devices with (a.) convenient management over an IP network via an onboard Web
interface, (b.) at the rack through the local console port or (c.) dial-up with an
external modem.
BENEFITS
• Linux operating system
• Securely access any serial device
The Cyclades CS console servers include security options such as Local, RADIUS,
TACACS+, Active Directory and LDAP for verifying users. Security benefits also
provide separate authentication to access ports and the console server. Security
features help reduce unauthorized access and integrate easily into existing security
policies. The Cyclades CS console servers also support all major encryption
algorithms.
• Separate authentication to access
ports and the console server
• Consolidate all serial port access via
a single interface
• Access devices via the local serial
port (in-band) or remotely using TCP/
IP or dial-up (out-of-band)
TYPICAL ENVIRONMENTS
Available in 8- and 16-port models, the Cyclades CS4008 and CS4016 console servers
let you consolidate access to serial devices with a single interface. Ideal for a small
data center/computer room with a limited number of racks and servers. A typical
environment would include 1-10 racks with 8-10 servers and network equipment
(routers, switches) within each rack. Using a Linux-based operating system, the
Cyclades CS console servers provide performance and secure access. A command
line interface (Linux Shell) increases manageability.
• Simplify access and control of any
serial computing device from any
location
• Event notification (email, pager,
SNMP trap)
• Sun break-safe (Solaris Ready™
certified)
• Unlimited number of simultaneous
sessions
• Offline data buffering - local or
remote (NFS/Syslog)
• Flash-upgrade firmware for fast and
easy updates
• CAT 5 compatible adapters simplify
cabling
• A configuration wizard for first-time
users eases installation
The Cyclades CS console servers let you consolidate access to serial devices such as servers, routers, switches and
serial power units with a single interface.
