MasterConsole Z is a space-saving (0U), flexible KVM solution that allows one user to access and manage up to 64 (PS/2, USB, Sun) servers through a daisy-chain of computer interface modules (MZCIMs), each of which is connected to a target server. MasterConsole Z is the ideal solution for:
· Densely packed 1U and 2U rack mount servers · Small to medium-sized server rooms, data centers, ISPs and Web hosting facilities · Computer test labs, call centers, help desks, training rooms · Small and medium-sized businesses, where the servers are not all in the same room
System Components
The MasterConsole Z system consists of three basic components:
1. User Station (MZUST) – enables a user console (keyboard, video and mouse) to access and control up to 64 servers via simple, on-screen user interface.
2. Computer Interface Modules (MZCIMs) – innovative cables that connect directly to the keyboard, video and mouse ports of target servers via PS/2, USB or SUN interfaces to provide failsafe server access using Raritan's keyboard/mouse emulation technology. MZCIMs are linked (chained) one to the next with a single Cat5e UTP cable; the first MZCIM in the chain is linked to the User Station via Cat5e UTP cable. The same cable chain can accommodate PS/2, Sun and USB-connected servers.
3. Terminator (TER-ZCIM) - terminates the daisy-chain of MZCIMs. |
