On all dual LAN models, the administrator can enable failover to the second LAN port. One or two IP addresses may be used. Either LAN connection can be used as the access port to the Dominion SX.
|
|
Cross-platform Hardware Independence
|
Allows connection of multiple disparate servers running SUN® Solaris™, HP-UX, AIX, Linux®, Windows® Server 2003, and UNIX® servers as well as serial devices to a single Dominion SX – making it perfect for situations where a range of equipment is needed, which is common in remote locations.

CommandCenter Secure Gateway Integration
|
|
Extensible
|
When deployed with CommandCenter Secure Gateway, thousands of Dominion SX devices can be managed with centralized authentication and authorization.
|
|
Easy Firmware Upgrades
|
Simplifies firmware updates via CommandCenter Secure Gateway. Administrators can schedule firmware upgrades for one or more SX devices.
|
|
Single IP Address for Administration and Target Connection
|
Administrators and users can connect to one IP address with one login via CommandCenter Secure Gateway to manage the SX or the targets. This connection can be via browser or through SSH. Only Raritan allows direct SSH connection to the aggregator.
|
|
GUI Power Control
|
Raritan power control units (RPCU) can be connected to each serial port on a Dominion SX. For servers/equipment that have multiple power feeds, multiple power outlets can be associated together to switch equipment on or off with a single click of the mouse.
