ONE-STOP SOLUTION AND TECHNOLOGY

Feature

Benefits

Flexibility

KVM and serial control on a single unit

Save precious rack space in your remote locations by combining digital KVM and serial access and control in one appliance.

Virtual Media

Mount remote drives/media on the target server to support software installation, bug fixes, and upgrades. The Dominion KSX II supports a wide variety of media options, including CD/DVD drives, local drives, USB drives, and ISO image files.

Availability

Dual Gigabit Ethernet Ports with Failover

Provides high availability with dual gigabit Ethernet ports for redundancy. Should one Ethernet switch or interface card fail, Dominion KSX II will automatically failover to the other port and continue operating

Built in modem with dial-back

The Dominion KSX II has a built-in modem for out-of-band access in case the primary network is unavailable. As an added security benefit, dial-back authentication is supported.

Security

256-bit AES Encryption

The Dominion KSX II uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption for added security. AES is a U.S. government approved cryptographic algorithm that is recommended by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the FIPS Standard 197.

Configurable Strong Password Checking

The Dominion KSX II has administrator-configurable, strong password checking to ensure that user created passwords meet corporate standards and are resistant to brute force hacking. The administrator can also enforce password aging and lockout after failed attempts.

Group and port-level permissions

Administrators can ensure that only the right people access remote IT equipment by setting permissions down to the port level. Administrators can also grant or deny virtual media and power cycling privileges.

RADIUS and LDAP and Active Directory® Authentication

Dominion KX II integrates with industry-standard directory servers, such as Microsoft's Active Directory, using either the LDAP or RADIUS protocols. This allows Dominion KSX II to use pre-existing username/password databases for security.

Ease of Use

Absolute Mouse Synchronization™

The Absolute Mouse Synchronization feature is the ultimate mouse synchronization solution. For servers with a compatible USB mouse port, there is no need to adjust the mouse settings on the target server. This reduces installation time and enhances the Dominion KSX II's plug-and-play nature. In addition, the remote and target server mouse pointers never go out of synchronization. This feature is enabled by the new D2CIM-VUSB Virtual Media CIM.

Next Generation Common User Interface

The Dominion KSX II has a next generation, browser-based user interface for enhanced usability and productivity. This interface is common across the local port, remote access, management software as well as other Raritan products. This reduces training time and increases productivity.

Plug and Play Appliance Offers Quick and Easy Setup

Dominion KSX II is a completely self-contained system (i.e. an appliance). All KSX II features, including authentication and Web access, are built into the unit and do not require the use of an additional server.

Manageability

Remote Power Control

The Dominion KSX II has two dedicated power control ports for Raritan PDUs like the Dominion PX. The enables administrators to remotely power cycle IT devices from the KSX II management interface.

SNMP Management and Syslog

The Dominion KSX II SNMP agent distributes SNMP traps for important system events to SNMP management systems. SNMP traps are fully configurable by the administrator. Syslog also supported.

Centralized management with Raritan CommandCenter® Secure Gateway

Like the rest of the Dominion Series, Dominion KSX II features CommandCenter Secure Gateway integration, allowing enterprise users to consolidate all Dominion devices into a single logical system, accessible from a single IP address, and under a single management interface.
