Using a console, as many as 64 computers running different operating systems can be managed. Servers can be identified by a user-defined name or sequentially by number, enabling easy access to connected servers. Compaq Server Console Switches can be connected in a tiered fashion, to increase server access from 4 or 8 servers to as many as 64 servers. Switching between computers is accomplished by typing a switching command at the keyboard, or by using the mouse to interact with the graphic interface of the selected computer. There are two 8-Port models, a single and a dual console version, allowing the flexibility of controlling switch configurations from more than one location, or by more than one user.
Every model delivers exceptional performance through leading edge switching design and engineering.
Target Applications and Markets Network Administrators, System Administrators, Engineering Managers, Chief Information Officers, and Managers of Information Systems are all among the users who will see very tangible benefits from using the Compaq family of server console switches. Easy access to multiple servers. Programmable Scanning - An evaluation of system performance can be made by sequentially scanning any or all of the computers in the system. Programmable scanning allows you to determine which computers to include as well as the duration of the connection. If the keyboard or mouse communication is disrupted, the switch can be used to reset the unit without interrupting power to the system.
