Fujitsu s4-1622 (16-Port) KVM Console Switch

The console switches (Keyboard Video Mouse = KVM) from Fujitsu Technology Solutions are vital in the operation of cluster configurations and server farms in data centres. They offer a cost-optimized, platform and software-independent solution for rack system integration. Both PS/2 and USB interfaces from servers are supported, resulting in possible mixed configurations with different Fujitsu servers in one rack. The Enterprise Server s3 / s4 console switches provide a solution positioned between simple mechanical and high-end digital console switches for rack integration. With the s3 / s4 series a maximum of 32 servers can be operated in a rack with up to two consoles in non-blocking mode, locally or with one / two consoles in an IP connection (10/100/1000 Mbit/s) depending on the switch model. In blocking mode (with cascaded switches) up to 256 servers are even possible. Blade Servers from Fujitsu are supported in the same way. The Enterprise Server s3 / s4 console switches are multi-platform switches and only require a single height unit. They are also DDC2B compatible. The Enterprise Server s3 / s4 console switches are primarily designed for integration into 19-inch racks. They round off the 19-inch technology portfolio of Fujitsu servers and are indispensable for the operation of cluster configurations and server farms in data centres.



The cost benefits (cutting back on monitors and keyboards that are otherwise needed) are obvious. It is planned to combine s3 / s4 switches with other Fujitsu console switches. 8- and 16-port switch for system consoles that can be configured to provide connections for up to one local user for analog switches or for one, two or four remote users plus one local user for 8-, 16- and 32-port digital switches. End-to-end CAT5 connections, firmware flash-upgradability and keep-alive function are provided. Advanced on-screen management for configuration/server selection, client-based GUI for remote access and improved graphics (16-bit). Virtual Media (VM) and LDAP support for KVM s4 switches. Password protection and remote access secured by SSL encryption.Features
