Raritan Paragon II Matrix Cat5 KVM Switch
Raritan Paragon II
Paragon II is defining the next generation of KVM and will give you the power
to access and control servers and other network devices anytime, anywhere. As
the industry's best stackable Cat5 KVM solution, Paragon II will give you
seamless access and control to multiple platforms, operating systems and
connections.
Raritan Paragon II CAC Reader Solution
Raritan’s Paragon II Common Access Card (CAC) solution enables government
users to enforce HSPD-12 security regulations, while maintaining convenient
access to IT equipment. Partnering with SCM Microsystems – an industry leader in
smart card technology – Raritan redesigned their Paragon II Enhanced User
Station (EUST), integrating their standards-compliant reader. It now provides
operators with a single, universal smart card interface to each connected
server.
Multi-dimensional Expansion
With Paragon II, you can stack up to 128 ports per switch and add up to
10,000 ports via multi-dimensional expansion. Building upon the proven analog
KVM switching technologies of Raritan's original Paragon, it has superior KVM
switch technology that dramatically reduces equipment costs and optimizes space
utilization.
Innovative Modular Architecture
The main switching unit is a secure, intelligent, non-blocked control unit
that connects users to servers. Its stackable architecture provides the
industry's highest port density.
Paragon II also offers a stacking unit, which is a cost-effective, space-saving expansion unit that allows you to easily add up to 128 non-blocked ports per switch with 90% less cable than cascading. Stacking units are compatible with Paragon II models UMT 832 M and UMT 1664M.
Stacking Unit Benefits
The stacking units reduce the burden of multiple cables between tiers,
reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) by more than 30% and save one-third of rack
space and HVAC resources.
