Z-Series
|
Control
up to 42 servers in Zero-U rack space with
the switchless KVM switch.
The
ultimate space saver
Raritan's innovative Z-Series enables access and
control of multiple servers from a single user console (keyboard, monitor, and
mouse), without consuming precious rack space.
Z-Series Z4200U employs Raritan's unique
communication technology to control up to 42 servers and eliminate the
traditional KVM switch box and all hard-to-manage server-to-switch cable. It is
designed to support the most challenging demands of server management where
space is at a premium or where systems to be accessed are up to 1,000 feet
away, including:
-
Densely packed 1U and 2U rack mount servers
-
Corporate data centers, ISPs, co-location, and Web hosting facilities
-
Computer test labs, call centers, help desks, and training
rooms .
Simplified
installation with less cable
Z-Series replaces the
traditional KVM switch-to-multiple-server cabling configuration with an
innovative chain-like server-to-server arrangement, significantly reducing
cable clutter. Small Computer Interface Modules (Z-CIMs) connected to the
keyboard, video, and mouse ports of each server via Raritan's unique
DirectConnect technology are linked with standard Category 5 UTP cable and
transmit the keyboard, video, and mouse signals to a User Station. A keyboard,
monitor, and mouse plug into the User Station, enabling the user to select and
control up to 42 servers via simple on-screen user interface menus. Servers can
be added at any time without interrupting server operation.
Seamless
interface to enterprise-class ParagonŽ
Z-Series is Paragon ReadyT, for convenient,
clustered access and control of high-density rack mounted servers in
large-scale data centers. Connect the first Z-CIM in the chain directly to
Raritan's Paragon Ver. 2.5 with a single Category 5 UTP cable.
