SCS Console Server / Terminal Server Overview
Performance Breakthrough in Console Management
In the demanding world of Systems Administration, the challenge has been to integrate full-featured, reliable solutions within mandated budget constraints. The SCS series Secure Console Server from Thinklogical addresses this challenge with features, performance and a surprisingly affordable price per port. The SCS series can provide access and management of any combination of serial devices: servers, routers, workstations, LAN/WAN devices, and more.
Securely Manage your Network Resources
The SCS series is a high performance console port management solution incorporating OpenSSH for secure authentication and encryption, and support for DHCP networks. The administrator assigns each users access rights. Users can then connect to only the devices they are authorized to access. Setup is quick and easy.
Local, Network, and Remote Access Flexibility
When access to network devices is key, the SCS series provides management of serial console ports directly through the network or from a local terminal. Remote access is achieved via SSH, PPP or through an external modem. The access flexibility of the SCS series make them perfectly suited to management of local and remote server installations.
Server Monitoring Speed Diagnostics
The SCS series provides a 256K true FIFO buffer for each device port providing a 400+ line audit trail to assist with diagnostics should an attached device fail. By allowing access to original panic messages, problems can be quickly corrected and downtime significantly reduced. The SCS series is fault tolerant and will not cause attached devices to fail should the console server itself lose power. The design of the SCS series provides isolation between the user terminal and the server or device, eliminating the terminal as a point of failure.
