Supported Products
Data Center Planner supports integration capability with three Emerson Network Power products concurrently.
DSView™ management software
Avocent DSView software provides data centers with secure, centralized management for physical and virtual IT
assets. By allowing administrators to remotely diagnose and modify any managed device, regardless of the health or
status of the operating system or network connection, DSView software makes data center management and remote
offices more accessible, extensible and secure.
DSView software easily integrates with existing security infrastructure, authenticating against internal or external
standards-based services. All traffic is encrypted and the detailed activity logs provide a critical audit trail for issue
resolution and regulatory compliance. Remote management capabilities allow physical lock down of sensitive
machines. To take advantage of DSView software functionality, you must purchase a software web services license.
NOTE: All instances of DSView software within this document refer to DSView software versions 3 or higher.
Rack Power Manager
Rack Power Manager software is a stand-alone web browser-based, centralized rack power distribution unit (PDU)
management solution. It provides all centralized management capabilities related to rack PDU devices, can perform
power control actions and can run power consumption reports for rack PDUs.
Liebert SiteScan™ web software
Liebert SiteScan Web software uses a network of microprocessor-based control modules to monitor and control
Liebert precision cooling, power, UPS and other critical equipment. It enables the user to monitor and control
equipment in a single building, an entire campus or a network of facilities around the globe.
A Liebert SiteScan Web system utilizes a web-based server running Microsoft Windows XP, 2003 Server or 2000
and a conventional web browser to gather information, change operating parameters, run reports and perform similar
functions on various types of critical equipment.
