Cyclades® OnBoard service processor manager simplifies out-of-band management of next-generation servers with service processor technologies by consolidating IP connections, user access and server health information. With multiple Ethernet ports, Cyclades OnBoard service processor manager connects point-to-point with Ethernet-based service processors such as HP iLO, IPMI, Sun ALOM, Dell DRAC, IBM® RSA and blade servers. By consolidating service processor Ethernet ports, Cyclades OnBoard management appliance requires only one external IP address for all connected devices, reducing provisioning costs associated with service processors. Cyclades OnBoard management appliance reduces costs even further by routing the service processor traffic through a less expensive out-of-band network that eliminates the use of switch ports on the production network.
Cyclades OnBoard appliance delivers Secure Rack Management™ (SRM™ - patent pending) offering a standard security schema for external access and providing proxy and conversion services to ensure that connected servers are isolated and protected from the external production network. Additionally, Cyclades OnBoard management appliance allows enterprise-class authentication, authorization and auditing (AAA) security and encryption, and extends this functionality to all servers. By providing a combination of proxy services, translation services, virtual private networks and dynamic access control, users are ensured a secure connection. Furthermore, Cyclades OnBoard management appliance provides controlled access to services in each server's service processor after all authentication and authorization has taken place.
Cyclades OnBoard service processor manager provides a standardized feature set for out-of-band management of servers from multiple vendors by extracting the native service processor interface for configuration, KVM, console and power control, and displaying the information in an easy-to-understand format. Server administrators need only learn one simple interface and not other server management interfaces.
Cyclades OnBoard management appliance adds value by extending the functionality of service processors. Features such as data logging, event detection and notification, SNMP proxy, graphing and alarms for sensors and shared access to management ports are standard.
Features:
Reduce the cost of deploying, monitoring and troubleshooting servers by reducing the number of IP addresses and Ethernet switch ports required for service processors
Decrease the time to access, monitor and control servers by using a single login and user interface to service processors
Eliminate security concerns associated with remote management of service processors
Restrict user access to specific service processor features: power, sensors, console, Web
