For the first time, SmartViewWorld unites server administration through proven multi-user KVM technology, modern CAT5 interface technology and IP network or modem access in a single device. In addition, crashed servers can be remotely rebooted by switching their power supply off and on again. This, too, is done through the network or modem using the same, standardized user interface.

With SmartViewWorld, administrators can now control servers down to BIOS level and even restart them from home or the road. Even if the complete network is down, the affected components can be accessed and restored through a dial-up connection.

Key features

• For connecting conventional, local KVM consoles, for CAT5 cables up to 200 metres and for geographically unlimited IP access through Ethernet and/or modem
• Connection of up to six operator consoles, four of which can be used at the same time
• On-screen display (OSD) for simple, convenient administration and computer selection, and switching on/off individual servers or server groups
• Built-in ePowerSwitch control for rebooting specific servers and other equipment through the on-screen menu
• Cascadable for connecting up to 512 servers - four at a time
• Outstanding reliability, for example through second, redundant power supply
• Exceptionally high video bandwidth; screen resolution of up to 1900 x 1440 (KVM connection) and 1280 x 1024 (IP access)
• Flash firmware upgrade through the serial port

Local connections (KVM and CAT5)

SmartViewWorld has three KVM connections for "conventional" user consoles (VGA/PS2) with a cable length up to 20 metres. In addition, two further user consoles can be located up to 200 metres away through a CAT5 cable. These consoles share their access with two of the KVM consoles. Shared access is controlled automatically and transparently, being noticeable only during periods of intensive usage.

At up to 1900 x 1440, the screen resolution for the KVM connections is outstanding, while the CAT5 consoles have an impressive maximum resolution of 1600 x 1200.

Remote IP access

IP access is through a 10/100 Ethernet link and an external modem (with automatic changeover). The user interface is provided by any Java-capable browser, so that no additional client-side software is needed. User convenience and a high level of security are ensured with SSL V2/V3 encryption and up to 256 user profiles with individual passwords.
Unlike conventional solutions, no server software needs to be installed for SmartViewWorld, allowing system management down to DOS level. During booting, even the BIOS setup can be accessed.

The maximum screen resolution is 1280 x 1024 pixels at 75 Hz, and all standard VGA and VESA modes - both graphic and text - are supported.

Remote Reboot

Connected to the serial interface, ePowerSwitch M/S series devices let you switch up to 32 servers on and off through SmartViewWorld 's on-screen menu, either in local access mode or remotely through network or modem. You can also switch groups of devices at the same time, for example a server and its associated RAIDs.

Security

Local access to SmartViewWorld is password-protected, while IP access is protected with an additional login procedure. Numerous user profiles with associated custom settings and access rights ensure that users can access only those servers that they are authorized to control.

Compatibility

• Independent from operating system; support for ThinkPad, RS6000 and Alpha
• Works with PS/2 and AT keyboards and supports all common mouse types (PS/2, wheel mice)

Ports and interfaces To maximize flexibility and minimize cabling costs, SmartView uses standard connectors The use of high-quality integrated interface modules and quality standard cables allows distances of up to 10 metres for the operator stations and 20 metres for the servers.

Flexible cascading

One of SmartViewWorld's special strengths is its cascading capability with multi-user access, which provides full support even for larger, complex applications. In most cases, the less expensive SmartView xPro units are recommended for cascading applications, but SmartViewWorld can also be used, for example if additional IP access to a specific server group is needed.
