Z-Series Raritan's innovative Z-Series offers a "zero-U" KVM solution that enables access and control of
multiple servers from a single user console (keyboard, monitor, and mouse), without consuming precious rack space. Z-Series employs Raritan's Cat5 Simplicity and unique communication
technology to control up to 42 servers without the traditional KVM switch box and all the usual hard-to-manage, switch-to-server cable. It is designed for scalability to more than 1,000 servers.
The ultimate KVM solution for simple set-up, space savings and cable management Z-Series replaces the traditional KVM switch-to-multiple-server cabling configuration with an
innovative, chain-like server-to-server arrangement, significantly reducing cable clutter. Z-Series consists of two basic components: a User Station and small Computer Interface Modules
(Z-CIMs). The Z-CIMs are connected to the keyboard, video, and mouse ports of each server and are linked one to the next with standard Category 5 UTP cable and transmit the keyboard, video,
and mouse signals to a User Station. A keyboard, monitor, and mouse (PS/2 or Sun) plug into the User Station, enabling the user to select and control up to 42 servers via simple on-screen
user interface menus. Since Z-series components are plug and play, servers can be added at any time with no interruption of server operation.
The Z-Series Z4200U model enables access and control of up to 42 servers, and is ideally suited for high-density rack environments. Seamless interface to Raritan's enterprise-class Paragon
Z-Series is Paragon Ready, for convenient, clustered access and control of high-density rack mounted servers in enterprise environments and larger data centers. Connect the first Z-CIM in
the chain directly to Raritan's Paragon with a single Category 5 UTP cable. For pricing information see our On-line Store |
