The Global 4x2x32 Console Manager (GCM32) and Global 2x2x16 Console Manager (GCM16) provide enhanced remote management, access and security capabilities with out-of-band access to servers, network equipment and other devices with serial configuration or console ports from a single appliance. This unified approach improves staff efficiency by reducing the time required to remotely diagnose, reconfigure, repair or restore servers as well as network devices and other hardware with serial configuration and/or management consoles.
Advanced security features
The 1754 GCMs provide advanced security features including AES encryption, LDAP, and smart card/Common Access Card (CAC) reader support for secure centralized authentication and access to local or remote systems.
True Serial capabilities
The true serial capabilities of these next-generation appliances expand access and control reducing infrastructure complexity by allowing nearly any device with a serial port (hubs, routers, switches) to be connected and managed directly from a singular GCM. The Serial Conversion Option (SCO) facilitates the connection to these devices and supports SSH and Telnet connections and the Cisco electronic pinout for seamless connections to Cisco equipment.
High availability
These new switches also feature redundant 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports and power supplies standard, improving availability and minimizing downtime.
