• Regionalization
  • Local authentication for local access
  • Around the clock global operations – avoid failures across regions
• Departmentalization / local administrative autonomy
  • Access network partitioning
  • Segment by access tools, Raritan device type, user type, etc.
  • Deploy CC-SG units across different subnets

• Support of KX II 2.1

CC-SG 4.1 has been developed to be compatible with KX II release 2.1.

Continued compatibility / support of new KX II features.

• Cluster Management Enhancements

When a failed CC-SG restarts it will automatically go into waiting mode. It can also be configured to automatically go into Backup mode during a configurable timeframe. Previously, returning the pair to Primary/Backup status was a manual process. Now, it is automated. (16584) Additional enhancements and improvements include:

• Simplified Cluster Creation Procedure (16582)
• DNS Support for Improved Usability
• Automatic Redirection to Primary Node (If backup IP address is entered)
• Automatic Rebuilding of a Cluster in Case of Failure
• On Demand switching of the Primary and Waiting systems

Increased automation of administration tasks, time savings

• Disc Drive Upgradability (RAID)

The RAID drives may now be upgraded by customers. A new user interface for step-by-step diagnosis is included in this release and written instructions are provided with the drive(s). The drives are hot-swappable and may only be used with the current E1/V1 CC-SG platform. In order to implement the replacement, the CC-SG unit must be running this new release. Note that there are two drives available; one for the E1 and one for the V1.

Elimination of / decrease in downtime.
Eliminates need to return unit in the event of disc drive failure.

• Device Configuration File Backup and Restore

Enables CC-SG to store a backup configuration file to be used on a new or replacement Raritan device to avoid needing to re-enter the information (KX II, SX, KSX II, KX II 101).

Ease of use, convenience and efficiency.

• Device Configuration Copy Support

Allows administrators to use CC-SG to conveniently copy the configuration from one Raritan device to another. For example, users can copy one KX II’s configuration to other units managed by CC-SG. Same for SX, KSX II, and KX2 101.

Ease of use, convenience and efficiency.

• Enhanced AES Support

For compatibility with new KX II features, release 4.1 includes AES-256 support. When AES is enabled, it’s now possible to specify the strength of the AES encryption (AES-128 or AES-256).
