Minicom’s Latest IP Gateway Controls Data Center Serial Devices

Minicom Advanced Systems, a leading manufacturer of KVM solutions for remote server management, today announced the launch of the PX Serial, the latest addition to
Minicom’s PX range of IP gateways. The addition of the serial capability now enables remote access to serial targets in server rooms and data centers. The smart and compact RS232 device lets any number of remote users access and control any number of individual serial devices including headless servers, routers, managed network switches and serially-based
power management devices.

According to Benny

Hayumi, KVM Product Manager for Minicom, “The addition of the serial capability makes the PX IP gateway the all-round winner for data center managers and server-room administrators wanting to increase the power and reach of each IT technician. It provides unlimited target availability without the delay of ‘blocked’ access. And its single port configuration makes it ideal for data centers running high volumes of userserver traffic that want to add devices as demand grows. Now any number of IT technicians can simultaneously access and control any number of targets, both serial and KVM.”

Management Capability. For better server room and data center administration the PX can be managed under Minicom's KVM.net global centralized server management system. The combination of KVM.net and PX is ideal for corporations operating servers and serial devices at multiple sites such as testing labs, university campuses, branch offices, and multi-floor facilities.
