In Emerson Network Power has introduced two new models in the Avocent Universal Management Gateway family. Available globally, the Avocent Universal Management Gateway is a core component of Emersons data center infrastructure management (DCIM) portfolio, combining KVM, serial console, rack PDU, embedded service processor and environmental management into a single appliance.
The Avocent Universal Management Gateway gives us a multi-purpose appliance in our racks, said Carl McMillon, director of data center services at Duke University. Its integration with Avocent DSView Management Software enables remote access management and console management, as well as real-time data collection. It places at our fingertips the data we need to make more informed decisions in managing our infrastructure.
The new models, Avocent Universal Management Gateway 4000 and 6000, add support for KVM and environmental sensors while expanding the support for serial consoles and embedded service processors. These models also significantly increase the amount of real-time data the appliance can collect (up to 10,000 data points per minute) to enable effective DCIM.
When combined with DCIM software, this multi-functional device delivers comprehensive, real-time infrastructure management capabilities for the data center, said Steve Hassell, president of the Avocent business of Emerson Network Power. And, because it supports access and control for all IT equipment across the data center, the Avocent Universal Management Gateway gives customers the option to use what fits their model and change equipment on the fly without having to worry about ripping and replacing appliances.
