Avocent DSView 3 management software provides data centers with secure, centralized management for physical and virtual IT assets. By allowing administrators to remotely diagnose and modify any managed device, regardless of the health or status of the OS or network connection, DSView 3 software makes data center management and remote offices more accessible, extensible and secure.
DSView 3 software provides a single, secure, browser-based interface to manage your entire data center environment, including the following: - Blade servers and enclosures
- VMware Virtual Infrastructure to include Center Servers (formerly Virtual Centers), ESX Servers and Virtual Machines
- Citrix® XenServerTM and virtual machines
- Rack-mounted servers
- Avocent KVM over IP switches
- ACS Advanced Console Servers
- Power Management Power Distribution Units (PM PDUs)
- Service Processor Managers (SPM)
- Embedded server management technologies
- Third-party PDUs and KVM over IP appliances
DSView 3 software also provides custom views for each user, graphical report building and task automation tools, along with a holistic view of your network assets no other system can equal. Administrators can ease and increase speed of deployment with Appliance Configuration Templates, pre-configured with their common parameters.

The DSView 3 software “hub and spoke” architecture allows for high availability and distributed, consolidated access across locations. The out-of-band features on the DSView 3 software allow administrators to diagnose and repair problems even when gateways, routers or other IP connectivity is down. Data centers evolve. Whether you’re migrating to blades, experimenting with SANs or simply trying out a new router, DSView 3 software can help you maintain control by integrating with new technologies and providing a consistent management interface, regardless of your underlying infrastructure. DSView 3 software offers deep, pre-built integration with HP® software, NetClarity, Uptime Devices, VMware and others. It also provides an API to integrate third-party applications, tools and systems. DSView 3 software easily integrates with your existing security infrastructure, authenticating against your internal or external standards-based services. All traffic is encrypted and the detailed activity logs provide a critical audit trail for issue resolution and regulatory compliance. By minimizing the need for local access in the data center, the remote management capabilities allow you to physically lock down sensitive machines for greater peace of mind.
