Thinklogical Sentinel 32-Port Console Server

In the demanding world of Systems Administration, the challenge is to integrate full-featured, reliable console management solutions. The Sentinel 32 Secure Console Server from Thinklogical answers this challenge with solid reliability features such as dual hot-swappable power supplies, hot-swappable device interfaces, and a unique front panel/motherboard assembly for easy replacement. There is redundant access through dual console and network ports housed in a hot-swappable interface module. The Sentinel 32 can provide access and management of any combination of serial devices: servers, routers, workstations, LAN/WAN devices, and more.  The Sentinel 32 is a high-performance console port management solution incorporating OpenSSH for secure authentication and encryption, and support for DHCP networks. The administrator assigns each user’s access rights. Users can then connect to only the devices they are authorized to access. When access to network devices is crucial, the Sentinel 32 provides management of serial console ports directly through the network or from a local terminal. Remote access is achieved via SSH, PPP or through an external modem. The access flexibility of the Sentinel 32 make it perfectly suited to management of remote server installations. The Sentinel 32 provides a 256K FIFO buffer for each device port providing a 400+ screen audit trail to assist with diagnostics should an attached device fail. By allowing access to original panic messages problems can be quickly corrected and downtime reduced. The Sentinel 32 is fault tolerant and will not cause attached devices to fail should the secure console server lose power. The design of the Sentinel 32 provides isolation between the user terminal and the server or device, eliminating the terminal as a point of failure.
