The Raritan Dominion SX serial switch enables IT professionals to access, monitor and control all their serial devices securely, anytime, from anywhere. Easy to install, simple to use, secure and scalable, this remote management solution provides one point of control to manage a wide range of servers and IT devices, including:
- Networking equipment -- routers, Ethernet switches, firewalls
- WAN equipment -- ISDN terminal adapters, channel banks, CSU/DSUs, PBX/PABXs and WDM
- Servers and headless servers -- Sun® Cobalt™, Solaris™, HP-UX, UNIX®, Linux®,IBM® AIX® and Windows Server™ 2003
- Raritan PDUs like the RPC Series and Dominion PX series.
...and DECservers!
Many companies still use DECservers for serial-over-IP in every day solutions. Their DECservers, servers and application are typically in a secured network environment, but for added security, the Raritan Dominion SX can manage DECservers using SSH, eliminating the need for local personnel or VPN management. Utilizing a serial-to-serial connection from a Raritan Dominion SX to a DECserver, all management can be performed with a serial command line on the DECserver. The Telnet protocol can be completely disabled from the outside network, while network protocols such as Telnet can still be used in the secure network environment.
IT managers can control Telnet usage and provide provisioned network configurations where required to support the DECserver environment. Firewalls can be provisioned to allow for SSH to the Raritan Dominion SX, configured for DPA (Direct Port Access) service. A Dominion SX can be connected to a DECserver through a simple serial cable providing secure DNAS configuration and management.
