Product Description
Designed for medium-to-large scale, multi-console server environments, Viewpoint matrix switches have become the de facto standard in data centers and server farms worldwide. Dozens of individual users can independently and easily access, view, manage and directly control server activities on up to thousands of systems - in company's "out-of-band" and non-intrusive manner that doesn't impact server or network performance.Take total control of your network data center! Corporate network administrators have complete control of their networks with ViewPoint, an integrated, seamless switching system. As many as 16 network administrators can have access to up to 32 mission-critical services to ensure smooth network operations. This makes ViewPoint a valuable tool for day-to-day network administration, as well as troubleshooting in the event of system problems. ViewPoint also uses the on-screen interface, OSCAR (On-Screen Configuration and Activity Reporting), which provides visual feedback on system connections as they occur. Even if a network is completely down, equipment malfunctions can be quickly isolated, identified, and corrected. And the ViewPoint matrix switch gives out-of-band access to a wide range of network elements such as file servers, PBX monitors, and database engines. For added flexibility, ViewPoint also features an Administrative and diagnostic terminal connection.
