Vertiv™ Avocent^® MergePoint Unity™ switch is the fourth-generation KVM over IP switch from Avocent^® solutions.

This switch provides IT administrators a complete remote management solution to access and control servers, networking equipment and other devices found in data centers and branch offices.

Vertiv Avocent MergePoint Unity switch enhances the in-band management typically done through the NIC of IT equipment by providing secure and remote out-of-band connections  directly to the physical KVM, USB and serial ports. This unified approach enables IT administrators a faster method to diagnose, reconfigure or restore equipment to meet SLAs and minimize downtime.

Integrated serial device support allows secure SSH connections to the physical serial ports of devices attached to the MPUIQ-SRL module.

The Cisco configuration settings electronically pin out the module to enable a fast and direct connection to Cisco configuration ports, without the need for any additional external wiring adapters or special wiring.

Improve Remote Management and Staff Efficiency
• Complement in-band tools to create a more complete remote management solution to access servers and network equipment at remote locations.
• Virtual media enables remote USB connections to map CD-ROM and other USB mass storage devices directly to remote servers to transfer/copy files, load updates or install new applications, etc.

Improve Physical Security
• Remote smart card/CAC reader support is provided for advanced security requirements. Using the virtual media capabilities of Vertiv Avocent MergePoint Unity switch, a smart card
reader can be mapped from a desktop PC out to a remote server.
• Reduce the need to physically enter the data centers for local access and control. Vertiv Avocent MergePoint Unity switch provides remote users the capabilities of a direct physical connection from anywhere to KVM, USB and serial ports of servers and other IT equipment.

Vertiv Avocent IP KVM vs Embedded Server Management (Service Processors)
• Provides plug-n-play access and control supporting a vendor-agnostic compute environment.
• Higher level of overall security and easier to deploy, maintain, and administrate
• Can co-exist with other Vertiv IT management solutions covering network devices, power control, and virtualization access through a central portal solution
