Centralize Your Management Solution with DSView 3 Management Software

DSView 3 management software enables secure, centralized management of all connected IT

devices in today’s complex data centers. When used in conjunction with any DS Series solution,

DSView 3 software allows IT administrators to remotely access, monitor and control target devices

on multiple platforms – anywhere, anytime – through a single, Web-based user interface.

DS Series Solutions

Hub and Spoke Architecture

The power of DSView 3 software is its “hub and spoke” architecture providing active redundancy. This allows companies to have

multiple DSView 3 servers installed in different locations to authenticate local and remote users and access their managed devices.

These separate DSView 3 servers replicate data with each other to keep the entire system current and available. Event log activities

are also kept in sync to track user and system activity across the entire system providing real-time updates, redundancy and load-

balancing across multiple sites.

Other System Features

• Secure, remote management of your entire IT infrastructure (rack-mounted, blades, and virtual servers, KVM, serial,

integrated power, LANDesk Server Manager as well as iLO, IPMI and other service processors) from a single interface

• Auto discovery of appliances

• Diagnostic testing from your desktop – across the hall or around the globe

• Detailed audit logs and reporting

• Automated updates, ﬁle loading and scheduling

• Simultaneous ﬁrmware updates

• Selectable encryption modes (AES, DES, 3DES, 128bit SSL) to support your security policy

• Authentication against existing services (LDAP, Active Directory, NT Domain, RADIUS, TACACS+, and RSA SecurID®)

• SNMP traps and e-mail notiﬁcation

• API’s available for integration into existing systems

• Integrated support for many 3rd party power and KVM over IP switches

Data Center DS Series solutions are IT infrastructure management tools for access and control of

multiple IT devices. A variety of DS Series appliances connect to many devices through different

interfaces.

Regional Data Centers DS Series solutions enable IT administrators to access and manage any size

data center. Regional data centers can be managed in the same way as major centers.

Remote Administrators With the power of IT access, IT administrators with access to the IP network

can manage any device anywhere as if they were physically present at the device.

NOC/Local Access For IT administrators at the data center, DS Series appliances provide local

console access in addition to IP access.

Remote Ofﬁces With the variety of appliance models, your existing management infrastructure can

be extended to any number of devices in different remote locations, allowing IT administrators to reach

out to any device in the enterprise.

IT Infrastructure

Management Tools

IT infrastructure management

tools complement existing

network- dependent systems

management tools with out-of-

band access. Out-of-band access

provides an alternate path for IT

administrators to troubleshoot and

restore critical assets, wherever

they are located, saving valuable

time, money and resources.
