The Dominion® KSX II is a combined KVM-over-IP and Serial Console Server solution that lets you access, maintain and control all the devices in your remote offices. Each model offers integrated power control, Virtual Media and data encryption.
Dominion KSX II is an integrated, hardware-based solution that offers you secure, remote KVM (Keyboard, Video and Mouse) access, serial device management and power control across your remote branch locations. With Dominion KSX II, you’ll enjoy secured, Out-Of-Band server/device access in a single 1U form factor.
Unlike remote control software solutions, Dominion KSX II provides:
Dominion KSX II offers direct access to trouble shoot and reboot all of your remote equipment including application servers, network appliances, switches, routers, firewalls, load balancers, and more.
Dominion KSX II is available in two models:
Feature
Benefits
Flexibility
KVM and serial control on a single unit
Save precious rack space in your remote locations by combining digital KVM and serial access and control in one appliance.
Virtual Media
Mount remote drives/media on the target server to support software installation, bug fixes, and upgrades. The Dominion KSX II supports a wide variety of media options, including CD/DVD drives, local drives, USB drives, and ISO image files.
Availability
Dual Gigabit Ethernet Ports with Failover
Provides high availability with dual gigabit Ethernet ports for redundancy. Should one Ethernet switch or interface card fail, Dominion KSX II will automatically failover to the other port and continue operating
Built in modem with dial-back
The Dominion KSX II has a built-in modem for out-of-band access in case the primary network is unavailable. As an added security benefit, dial-back authentication is supported.
Security
256-bit AES Encryption
The Dominion KSX II uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption for added security. AES is a U.S. government approved cryptographic algorithm that is recommended by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the FIPS Standard 197.
Configurable Strong Password Checking
The Dominion KSX II has administrator-configurable, strong password checking to ensure that user created passwords meet corporate standards and are resistant to brute force hacking. The administrator can also enforce password aging and lockout after failed attempts.
Group and port-level permissions
Administrators can ensure that only the right people access remote IT equipment by setting permissions down to the port level. Administrators can also grant or deny virtual media and power cycling privileges.
RADIUS and LDAP and Active Directory® Authentication
Dominion KX II integrates with industry-standard directory servers, such as Microsoft's Active Directory, using either the LDAP or RADIUS protocols. This allows Dominion KSX II to use pre-existing username/password databases for security.
Ease of Use
Absolute Mouse Synchronization™
The Absolute Mouse Synchronization feature is the ultimate mouse synchronization solution. For servers with a compatible USB mouse port, there is no need to adjust the mouse settings on the target server. This reduces installation time and enhances the Dominion KSX II's plug-and-play nature. In addition, the remote and target server mouse pointers never go out of synchronization. This feature is enabled by the new D2CIM-VUSB Virtual Media CIM.
Next Generation Common User Interface
The Dominion KSX II has a next generation, browser-based user interface for enhanced usability and productivity. This interface is common across the local port, remote access, management software as well as other Raritan products. This reduces training time and increases productivity.
Plug and Play Appliance Offers Quick and Easy Setup
Dominion KSX II is a completely self-contained system (i.e. an appliance). All KSX II features, including authentication and Web access, are built into the unit and do not require the use of an additional server.
Manageability
Remote Power Control
The Dominion KSX II has two dedicated power control ports for Raritan PDUs like the Dominion PX. The enables administrators to remotely power cycle IT devices from the KSX II management interface.
SNMP Management and Syslog
The Dominion KSX II SNMP agent distributes SNMP traps for important system events to SNMP management systems. SNMP traps are fully configurable by the administrator. Syslog also supported.
Centralized management with Raritan CommandCenter® Secure Gateway
Like the rest of the Dominion Series, Dominion KSX II features CommandCenter Secure Gateway integration, allowing enterprise users to consolidate all Dominion devices into a single logical system, accessible from a single IP address, and under a single management interface.
General Questions
This page lists all of the KSX II ports, the connected KVM target servers and Serial target servers, and their status and availability.
From the Port Access Page, the user can click on a port name to connect to the target device. If the device is also connected to a Raritan PDU, like the Dominion™ PX, the user can also power on/off/cycle the target.
From the Security Settings page, users can specify login limitations, user blocking, password rules, encryption settings and PC share mode.
For each user group and server port, the admin can specify the type of access, the type of access to virtual media, and the power control permissions.
This page allows users to name the KVM port, establish power control (if connected to a Raritan PDU) and choose mouse synch and virtual media preferences.
This page allows users to name the Serial port, establish power control (if connected to a Raritan PDU) and configure serial port settings.
The KSX II Event Management feature provides a set of screens for enabling and disabling the distribution of system events to SNMP Managers, Syslog, and the audit log.
The Event Management - Destinations page is used to select which system events to track and where to send this information.
The Modem Settings page allows users to enable the built-in modem and set client/server IP addresses. The Modem Dialback feature can also be enabled from this screen for an additional layer of security. If dial-back is enabled, then a call-back number must be defined in the user profiles.
