THE BENEFITS
Secure remote access,
comprehensive system inventory and
increased productivity
With Avocent solutions in place,
PSCU Financial Services has boosted
productivity through remote access
capabilities. One advantage is gaining
the ability to stage equipment without
physically accessing the data center.
Now, engineers can rack mount servers
in the data center and then work on
them from their desks. In doing so, they
are able to save time and get their server
environment up and running as quickly
as possible.
Having a comprehensive view of all
their servers and connected devices
has also delivered improved network
management. Through the DSView 3
software, servers and devices can be
easily categorized based on location,
operating system, department,
application, or other custom categories.
Another advantage is the ability to
maintain accurate user permission
rights and detailed data and event logs
across multiple sites and appliances.
All access to the appliances is
logged for compliance, auditing and
troubleshooting, including who accessed
what and when. DSView 3 software
also provides real-time email and pager
event notifi cation with SNMP traps to
help IT administrators address potential
bottlenecks before they can affect server
throughput and availability.
"We know we have huge advantages
with the Avocent products," said Perini.
"We have found that the organization,
ease of use and security have been
excellent. Combined with the DSView
3 software, the Avocent solution gives
us per rack information allowing us to
streamline response, reduce our mean
time to repair, and meet both internal
and external audit requirements."
THE FUTURE
Supporting future growth
Expected to continue on an accelerated
growth track, PSCU Financial Services
appreciates the improved categorization

offered through the system and
recognizes that capability as key to
managing their expanding network.
Reggi notes that the Virtual Media
functionality of the 4030 switches will
"open a whole new world of actually
being in front of the computer without
being physically connected" and
anticipates using that functionality to
perform remote tasks such as patching
and distributing fi les in the near future.
