Présentation

The Opendear CM4116-48V and CM4148-48V console servers enable telecommunications and network service providers to securely manage their mission critical servers, switches, routers, Vo-IP gateways, DSLAMs and custom equipment - using one appliance. These robust management solutions provide secure authenticated remote access to the infrastructure at remote Points of Presence (POPs) and service offices, whether or not the main in-band network is operational. Today’s telecommunications offices use a variety of equipment with a wide range of remote management access methods. Many devices have a secure web console; others support a text serial console; while many carrier-grade servers have embedded computers with VNC/ RDP/X graphical support and IPMI or proprietary (ILO, ALOM) access to service processors.

Plus d'information

Today's telecommunications infrastructure has high availability built in. Even in their smaller sites, the equipment typically is powered from extensive 48V battery banks which are supplied from the AC mains - which in turn is then backed up with local generator sets. This provides significantly higher supply reliability than the UPS-based systems found in the typical data center. However many of the newer computing devices in today's telco run complex operating systems and new applications, and they have the potential to become unstable or fail. Opengear’s robust console managers mitigate the potential for such a disaster. The CM4116-48V and CM4148-48V offers a secure remote management appliance that operates within the stable -48V DC telco power infrastructure. The Secure Tunneling server which is embedded in each CM41xx-48V console server, provides text, web browser, RDP, VNC and a host of other graphical sessions to remote equipment through SSH tunnels with strong authentication and encryption. This guarantees secure remote management of Ethernet attached devices or serial consoles on telco-grade equipment. The CM41xx-48V provides secure access and logging of console text with e-mail alerts and SNMP traps for quick problem identification and resolution. A CM41xx-48V console server at a remote site can be accessed in-band through the public data network or the telco's private IP network; or out-of-band through a dial-up modem PPP port or some other sideband management network. All connections are secure, with encrypted access to remote systems using up to 128-bit AES encryption. CM41xx-48V also provides a selection of filtering and access logging facilities. All console logs can be archived off line. Access also can be restricted by IP address, by password, or by account. So managers can securely control and manage their distributed networks of servers and appliances.
