MasterConsole Z

MasterConsole Z is a space-saving, flexible KVM solution that allows one user to access and manage up to 64 (PS/2, USB, Sun) servers through a daisy-chain of computer interface modules (MZCIMs), each of which is connected to a target server.

MasterConsole Z is the ideal solution for:

• Densely packed 1U and 2U rack mount servers
• Small to medium-sized server rooms, data centers, ISPs and Web hosting facilities
• Computer test labs, call centers, help desks, training rooms
• Small and medium-sized businesses, where the servers are not all in the same room

System Components
The MasterConsole Z system consists of three basic components:

1. User Station (MZUST) – enables a user console (keyboard, video and mouse) to access and control up to 64 servers via simple, on-screen user interface.

2. Computer Interface Modules (MZCIMs) – innovative cables that connect directly to the keyboard, video and mouse ports of target servers via PS/2, USB or SUN interfaces to provide failsafe server access using  Raritan's keyboard/mouse emulation technology.  MZCIMs are linked (chained) one to the next with a single Cat5e UTP cable; the first MZCIM in the chain is linked to the User Station via Cat5e UTP cable.  The same cable chain can accommodate PS/2, Sun and USB-connected servers.

3. Terminator (TER-ZCIM) - terminates the daisy-chain of MZCIMs.
