Model: 4 Serial / 4 KVM Ports

The Dominion KSX II DKSX2-144 is a 4 serial port, 4 KVM port integrated remote management appliance that provides out-of-band access to IT assets that have both KVM and serial interfaces. It provides anytime, anywhere access and BIOS-level control of servers, as well as serial console access to networking devices. This, combined with remote power control and strong security features, makes the KSX II an optimal choice for troubleshooting and managing equipment in remote offices.

The KVM components of this remote management switch combines the productivity of IP access with a new level of at-the-rack KVM performance through faster video updates, Absolute Mouse Synchronization and 1600x1200 remote resolution. In addition, the integrated serial control and modem add additional layers of security and availability not available in standard SSH and Telnet access.

The Raritan KSX II comes equipped with virtual media to enable remote management tasks using the widest variety of CD, DVD, USB, internal and remote drives. Virtual media is available to all customers - whether through Raritan's CommandCenter management appliance for centralized access and control, or in a standalone configuration. The Dominion KSX II provides a common, browser-based user interface across the local console, remote access and device management. It also features a browser-based local console interface for at-the-branch productivity.

Dominion KSX II is a completely self-contained, secure, reliable appliance with dual Ethernet ports, AES encryption, SNMP, and LDAP/RADIUS/Active Directory authentication. Dominion KSX II can be integrated with CommandCenter Secure Gateway or used in a standalone configuration.

Note: A D2CIM-VUSB (sold separately) is required for Virtual Media and Absolute Mouse Synchronization.

Question: Can this be used on Mac Pro Servers to remote manage from a windows PC? Can it support GUI?
Answer: Thank you for your inquiry,

The Raritan DKSX2-144 can indeed be used to remote manage Mac Pro Servers from a Windows PC.

There are several interfaces in the KSX II including GUI - i.e. one of the ways to control the connected sources is a browser-based graphical user interface ('KSX II Remote Console') that allows you to log in to KVM target servers and serial targets connected to the KSX II and to remotely administer the KSX II.
