DSRIQ (Computer Interface Module)DSRIQ (Computer Interface Module)

• Exclusive CAT 5 technology– Reduces cable volume – Designed for high density racks– Provides connection from the DSR KVM switches to servers

• Exclusive Keep Alive technology– Allows attached servers to continue network functions

in the event of power failure to the switch– Keyboard and mouse emulation processing

powered from the keyboard connection on the servers• DDC2B compliant

– Meets current VESA standards– Provides optimal Digital Display resolution

and video settings• Connectivity

– PS/2, Sun, USB, VT100 serial-based devices and Virtual Media– Available in 14- and 20-inch lengths


What is DS Virtual Media?What is DS Virtual Media?

Virtual Media Defined – A straight-forward method for customers to load CDs/USB from a server at

a central site and transfer the information to a server at a remote site – in the same building or around the world.

• Available on:– DSR1030– DSR1031 (with DSVIEW 3.x)– DSR2030– DSR4030– DSR8030

• Provides KVM and VM access

to a single appliance

via an IP address

Service Processor ProtocolsService Processor Protocols

• IPMI (Standard):– Serial over LAN (IPMI 2.0), Power control

• iLO, Riloe (HP, Compaq):– Web, Serial over LAN, KVM, Power, Virtual Media

• SMASH/CLP (HP):– Serial over LAN, Power

• DRAC (Dell):– Web, Serial over LAN, KVM, Power, Virtual Media

• RSA (IBM):– Web, Serial over LAN, KVM, Power, Virtual Media

• Sun ALOM:– Serial over LAN, Power


Service Processor ProtocolsService Processor Protocols


Problems with Service ProcessorsProblems with Service Processors

• Low Level of Security– little centralized authentication

(most)– unsecure protocols:

TELNET or HTTP(some)

• Difficult to scale– no single sign-on– no consolidation– each server adds one

ADDITIONAL IP-address

• Deployment costs:– Extra Ethernet connection

per server– Requires twice as much switch-ports– Additional internal or even external

IP-addresses required


Problems with Service ProcessorsProblems with Service Processors

• Management:– dependency between server

and networking groups

• Multiple non-standard protocols, propietary SW for each vendor

• Separation of OOB from production network

– requires management network

• Lack of centralised Logging and Auditing

RDP and VNC services addedRDP and VNC services added

• What is RDP?• Who uses it?• Why?

• What is VNC?• Who uses it?• Why?

• Why is this addition important to customers?– Answer- We combine their “in-band” methods with our “out-of-

band” management solutions to provide failover capabilities and central event logging


Failover to a “real” connectionFailover to a “real” connection

Only Avocent can do that today


Security – AES EncryptionSecurity – AES Encryption

AES Encryption

Only vendor to currently offer this option


Security - RSA SecurIDSecurity - RSA SecurID

• Two Factor Authentication– Something you know (PIN Number)– Something you have (number on token)

• Authenticators (Tokens)

– Authenticators Time Sync’d with RSA Server– Time on RSA Server is critical

• Passcode– PIN & Number on Authenticator– 2745 & 79249134 = PASSCODE

Only vendor to currently offer this option


DSView 3 AdvantageDSView 3 Advantage• Consolidated access with single sign-on:
