Raritan DKX416 ( Dominion KX416 )4 x IP user, 1x Local user Digital KVM 16 port KVM switch with access over IP +128 Bit SSL

Raritan Dominion KX ™ an enterprise-class, secure, digital KVM appliance that combines analog switching with the industry's highest-performing KVM Over IP (remote access) technology.
At the rack, Dominion KX provides BIOS-level control of up to 32 servers and other IT devices from a single keyboard, monitor, and mouse. Plus, Dominion KX's integrated remote access capabilities provide the same BIOS-level control of your servers, from anywhere in the world, via Web browser.

Dominion KX is easily installed in minutes using standard UTP (Cat 5 / 5e / 6) cabling. Its advanced features, including 128-bit encryption; remote power control; dual Ethernet; LDAP, RADIUS, Active Directory, SNMP, syslog integration; and Web management, enable you to deliver higher uptime, better productivity, and bulletproof security – at anytime from anywhere.

KX Series Architecture

Dominion KX consists of two components: the digital KVM switch and Computer Interface Modules (CIMs).

  • The Dominion KX switch connects to each CIM and provides KVM Over IP capabilities for remote access, as well as a local access port for controlling servers at the rack.

  • Each CIM connects to the KVM ports of an individual server and delivers ‘keep-alive’ keyboard/mouse emulation ensuring that servers never hang. Plus, CIMs convert video signals for transmission over UTP (Cat5/5e/6) cabling.

  • Remote users easily access Dominion KX from any networked workstation via a standard Web browser.

  • A true data center appliance, Dominion KX provides its entire feature set out-of-the-box: 128-bit encryption, remote power control, dual failover Ethernet, LDAP, RADIUS, and Active Directory integration.

    Features:
    Features and innovations that deliver what you demand.

  • Extremely rack-efficient - only 1U in height
    Simple deployment - Dominion KX interconnects with each server via standard, economical Cat5 (UTP) cabling. Servers may be located as far as 50 cable feet from the Dominion KX unit.

  • A sophisticated, new product look featuring an ergonomic design and new blue LED indicators for clear easy-to-see power, network activity, and user activity.

  • New smaller form-factor CIMs that enable firmware via the network and allow cabling distances of up to 50 feet.

  • Employs Raritan's next generation IP technology with the addition of advanced video resolution detection hardware. When a user switches between servers, this system ensures that the transition to a new video source will be fast, accurate, and clear.

  • Users can connect up to 16 or 32 servers to each switch in a 1U form factor and via Cat5 cabling.

  • Includes Raritan's award-winning video compression circuitry from IP-Reach, the industry's highest-performing KVM Over IP technology, to provide remote network access to connected servers. Users can access Dominion KX from anywhere on the network (LAN or WAN [Internet]), allowing them to troubleshoot, reconfigure, and even reboot servers remotely.

  • Features local ports for connecting a KVM console at the rack itself. From this console, Dominion KX behaves like a traditional KVM switch, allowing a user to select among 16 or 32 servers and control them as if directly connected to the servers' KVM ports. Provides PS/2 and USB ports for additional flexibility, so users may use the latest USB keyboards.
  • Provides high-availability with dual Ethernet ports for redundancy. Should one Ethernet switch or interface card fail, Dominion KX can still remain available.

  • Allows users to connect Raritan power strips and enables control over these power units in a single, seamless interface. Thus, in an emergency, a system administrator can not only troubleshoot a server remotely, but also even reboot that server using the same interface.

  • Users can access Dominion KX with a standard web browser; this eliminates the need to install proprietary client software to access Dominion KX.

  • Dominion KX is a completely self-contained system, i.e. an "appliance". All its features, including authentication and web-access, are built into the box and do not require a separate server to function.

  • Improves upon previous Raritan KVM Over IP technology with the introduction of 15-bit color support (32,000 colors), enabling higher video quality over the network.

  • Enables 2 users to connect remotely and access the same server. This is very useful for administrator collaboration for teamed troubleshooting of servers.

  • KVM-Over-IP technology allows users to configure video performance to match available bandwidth. When accessing over a LAN (a local network), more bandwidth is available and hence more video information can be sent - resulting in better performance.

  • When accessing via dial-up modem, very little bandwidth is available, and Dominion KX can adapt to provide fast response (but less video information).

  • Incorporates 128-bit SSL encryption to ensure that customer server environments are protected from malicious hackers.
  • Integrates with industry-standard directory servers, via either RADIUS or LDAP protocols. Allows Dominion KX to integrate with pre-existing usernames/password database for security.

  • Remote Administrators can perform all management and configuration changes at the convenience of their desktop.

  • Firmware upgrades can be downloaded from the internet, and upgrades can be performed via the network.

  • Syslog integration allows Dominion KX's logging capabilities to be centralized in one syslog server (a standard event logging system).

  • SNMP integration allows Dominion KX to be monitored with an industry-standard SNMP tool such as HP OpenView.

  • Complete integration with Raritan's CommandCenter, allowing enterprise users to consolidate all Dominion devices into a single logical system, with a single IP address, and a single management in.
