New from Minicom Advanced Systems, the DX is a KVM matrix management switch that provides 24/7, out-of-band BIOS level management for the high-density server room and data centres. 'The DX system is at the heart of Minicom's out-of-band, multi-user product offering and is the ultimate analogue/digital KVM solution for the high-density server environment', said Benny Hayumi, Product Manager for Minicom. 'The GUI based centralised management system enables up to eight IT managers to simultaneously access hundreds of servers and network devices from any location'.

'The upgraded system includes new high security settings, easy installation and configuration, and expanded 3rd party compatibility options to protect your legacy KVM investment'.

'In addition, the enhanced DX is KVM.net enabled, allowing it to be seamlessly integrated with Minicom's enterprise-level centralised IP management system'.

The DX 2.0 provides five major functions in one unified solution - KVM switching and control, serial control, power management, user management, and remote access.

These functions are optimised by AIM, Minicom's Advanced Integrated Management interface - a hardware embedded GUI providing out-of-band, BIOS level access, topology-independent viewing, and point-and-click management for all KVM and Serial hardware in the data centre.
