I.
Analysis of Requirements
There are 24 servers equipped inside the
server room of the Guangzhou Municipality
under the management of at least 4 administrators.
Three administrators are located in the
control room near the server, and the other
administrator privileges are shared by resident
personnel in Shanghai, Beijing and New York.
To ensure the smooth operation and management
of the existing system, it is needed to
accomplish the following objectives;
(1) To ensure "jam-free" management:
when an administrator has linked to certain
servers, other administrators should be
able to control the remaining servers without
mutual conflicts;
(2) To provide excellent system expandability
for increasing control terminals or servers
by means of chaining;
(3) To allow every administrator to control
with convenient methods, to name the servers
to facilitate identification, and to control
via the OSD menu; and
(4) To monitor and scan different servers
simultaneously for real-time monitoring.

III. System Outline
All 24 servers in the Guangzhou Municipality
server room can be switched from one Altusen
KM0432 Matrix KVM Switch. The KM0432 provides
4 control consoles to allow 4 administrators
to switch to any servers under their command,
including the remote administrator. In connections,
all 24 servers can be connected to the KM0432
with Cat. 5 cables and CPU modules, and
the control PCs that are used by the 3 administrators
in the control room can also be linked to
the KM0432 with Cat. 5 cables and console
modules.
The remote administrator can link to the
KM0432 via the ATEN CN-6000 remote server
room management device in order to obtain
the access authority to the servers in the
server room via a gateway.
The CN-6000 supports 32 users to log in
to the system simultaneously. Therefore,
wherever the remote administrator is, Shanghai,
Beijing or New York, network management
personnel can manage different servers equipped
inside the Guangzhou Municipality server
room in turn via the connections established
by the CN-6000.
The Altusen range offers computer modules
for converting signals corresponding to
the specification of servers, such as the
PS/2 CPU module (KA9120), the SUN CPU module
(KA9130), the SUN USB CPU module (KA9131),
serial device module (KA9140), and the PC
USB module (KA9170), to fulfill the needs
of different servers.
IV. System Advantages
(1) Excellent expandability: The flexible
expandability of the KM0432 allows users
to control 32 servers simultaneously, and
a maximum of 2048 servers of different specifications
(PC, LINUX, MAC and SUN) via incorporation.
(2) Efficient and smooth management: The
KM0432 is equipped with an OSD menu and
scan function; and the CN-6000 provides
an easy-to-use browser interface to facilitate
network management.
(3) Multiparty remote management: The CN-6000
allows multiple administrators to log in
to the system simultaneously.
(4) Advanced security and protection: The
CN-6000 provides 128-bit SSL and 1024-bit
RSA encryption functions to ensure leak-proof
server data access over the Internet.
