Data center overview
PingIMS Partner with OpenGear to provide Centralized DataCenter management Solution, Data center management has evolved into a complex environment with a mixture of new and legacy equipment with a variety of administration requirements and access methods. It is not uncommon for modern data centers to have a variety of branded and un-branded servers running various and often simultaneous operating systems. Data centers also require management of firewalls, gateways, switches, routers, environmental monitoring, switched PDU's, and UPS systems.

Infrastructure managers provide data center managers with a secure tool for accessing and controlling data center sites, and for restoring operations and connectivity in the event of a outage. Mission critical sites where uptime is paramount demand high availability and redundancy be built into the computers, the networks and the management systems.

• Serial Console Ports
• Service Processor Cards
• Switched PDU's
• UPS and PDU management
• Out-of-band access

Opengear's solutions all provide a highly secure, single point of access to the data center's management network. Access privileges are defined by user, by device, and by port or service - and all access is rigorously controlled so enterprise security policies can be enforced.

The monitoring and logging of all access events and all serial console messages from servers, routers, switches, and UPS and power switches enables efficient disaster mitigation. Logging of network host control sessions then extends the audit trail, and these logs can be offloaded to other servers on the network. Such advanced auditing and tracking of all management activity help the data center conform to the mandatory compliance requirements.
