Centralized Management Software

ATEN's CC2000 Centralized Management Software provides IT Teams in every industry with a comprehensive solution that enables central management of their IT infrastructure locally and worldwide through a single portal. The software consolidates the management of all ATEN KVM over IP switches, serial console servers, ATEN PDUs, UPSs, and third party devices such as embedded service processors, blade servers, and physical and virtual servers for in-band and out-of-band management. The brand new CC2000 provides an easy-to-use yet robust interface – making system management more efficient and productive.

Featuring concise and intuitive HTML5-based (remove space) web interface, the CC2000 delivers a better user experience and advanced usability. By utilizing consolidated data, task-based navigation, and simplified menus, administrators can access, configure, and manage all of the IT equipment with ease.

The CC2000 also features a consolidated portal, the Dashboard, to help IT staff quickly attain a full grasp of all the important information and to complete monitoring tasks with minimal effort and time. The Dashboard displays an at-a-glance overview of device status, device events, task results, online users, and licensed nodes usage. With the device status and device events sections, administrators can be immediately notified about the condition of the connected devices, as well as quickly receiving the generated critical logs. The task results section delivers vital messages about operation success or failure. Administrators can also view details of currently logged-in users and terminate suspicious user sessions. The Dashboard’s enhanced notification functionality helps users to promptly handle issues and fix problems efficiently.

With the asset management functions, CC2000 enables users to quickly gain access to the specifications, appearance, installed location of the managed assets, providing complete control over floor space, rack space, IT equipment, power, and connectivity. Users can easily find assets with previously created tags and export all equipment details, simplifying the asset verification process. Featuring a floor map, CC2000 provides users the flexibility to observe the status of installed equipment from a location level down to the device level in both 2D and 3D images, facilitating comprehensive capacity planning and meticulous capacity management. It empowers users to assess, optimize, and allocate resource, ensuring efficient utilization of infrastructure resources in alignment with organizational goals and requirements.

By integrating ATEN SN11XX series, PDU series and Energy Box, the CC2000 supports real-time environment and power monitoring. This allows users to recognize potential hot spots in racks, monitor power status of connected PDUs, and inspect other important info through the system dashboard, ensuring 24/7 availability of IP equipment.

The CC2000's patented Panel Array mode lets administrators view the output of multiple ports in individual panels on the same screen. The panel configuration can combine the ports from different over-IP KVM devices and give administrators a flexible choice to select which devices they wish to monitor and how the ports appear on the screen. Ports can be accessed and managed simply by clicking on the panel it is displayed in.

The CC2000 Centralized Management Software uses Primary-Secondary architecture to offer service redundancy. When the Primary CC2000 server goes down, the CC2000 management system will keep functioning since one of Secondary units can provide the required management services until the Primary unit is back online. This feature ensures that you are able to access all your devices whenever required.

With the help of the CC2000, users can promptly handle issues and fix problems efficiently. As a secure and centralized system management solution, the CC2000 software meets the requirements of IT administrators in centralized management and easy monitoring, putting them in complete control of their data centers, server rooms and branch offices wherever they are deployed.

Note: Please note that a maintenance license is required for all existing CC2000 v3.0 users to proceed with an upgrade to CC2000 v4.0 from an earlier version, and it is strongly recommended that you consider this upgrade to sustain your system operations and take advantage of the latest advanced features and improvements. Following the launch of CC2000 v4.0, ATEN will no longer release any new features or new product support for previous CC2000 v3.x versions. However, we will continue to offer major bug fixes and security updates until the end of Q1 2024. (Maintenance License FAQ)
