By consolidating all data center management functionality into a single interface, DSView® 3 management software delivers the complete data center control necessary for the 24/7 data center.

DSView 3 management software enables secure, out-of-band, centralized management of all connected IT and network devices in today’s often complex and geographically dispersed data centers.

When used in conjunction with KVM appliances, serial console appliances, service processor gateways and PDUs, the hardware and software combine to allow IT administrators to remotely access, monitor and control target devices on multiple platforms at numerous locations–anywhere, anytime.

The Avocent DSView® 3 Power Manager software adds power monitoring capability to the access and control functions of DSView 3 software.

The addition of Power Manager gives companies the ability to monitor and measure IT energy consumption, and determine costs and trends across all levels within their data centers and remote locations.

Information gathered from supported power devices, such as the Avocent PM PDUs, can be used to generate historical graphs and reports. With that data, IT administrators and managers can consider overall cost and capacity across individual PDUs, racks, rows of racks or entire data centers.

Where are you in the data center maturity model?

No matter where you find yourself–from scrambling to manage it all manually to overseeing multiple automated systems–there is always a better, improved level of efficiency to be reached. To effectively manage the physical infrastructure, organizations need a fully integrated solution that (at a minimum) tracks the physical infrastructure configuration, manages projects and calculates current capacity.
