Expanding its range of server management solutions Austin Hughes introduces its new high density IP Serial console in 16 and 48 port. In today’s networks and data centres we have an increasing mix of server hardware and operating systems as well as many other devices that are required to be accessed and managed from a single serial console switch. Austin Hughes provides a simple and secure solution for local and remote monitoring with access from around the world using either the TCP/IP network or simply a failsafe or redundant dial up modem connection.

The Austin Hughes IP serial console switch deploys SSH v2 encryption so you can be sure that your password data is secure from intruders, in addition to this port alarm user messages can be logged and sent via e-mail automatically. The Austin Hughes IP Serial management console can be used to control all your distributed devices including servers, switches, hubs and routers from one single centralised access point.
