ProLiant Server High-Density Deployment Server Solution

Console Management Systems
A KVM console management system enables a single keyboard and video console to control multiple
servers. A console management system mounted in the rack may be used to manage a single rack of
servers or groups of racks. The HP IP console switch products have 16 ports that can access up to
128 servers. The HP IP Consoling Solution combines analog and digital technology to provide
flexible, centralized KVM control of data center servers. This solution provides enterprise customers
with a significant reduction in cable volume, secure remote access, and high-performance server KVM
access. Using the IP console viewer, users can access local KVM functions from any Microsoft®
Windows® or Linux workstation by means of a 10/100 network connection. Alternatively, an off-rack
console management system may also be used to manage the servers locally.
