Raritan IP-Reach

Remote access for kvm switches

With IP-Reach, multiple remote users get secure BIOS-level access to enable them to manage mission-critical servers. IP-Reach is an ideal complement to any KVM switch and it uses a unique video compression algorithm that minimizes network band-width consumption.

Basic concept

IP-Reach connects to the keyboard, video, and mouse ports of up to four servers or KVM switches. Using Raritan's powerful frame-grabber and Video Compression Algorithm, it captures, digitizes, and compresses the video signal before transmitting to a remote PC. The remote user has direct access and total control of target servers for maintenance, administration, and trouble-shooting, from running GUI applications to BIOS-level troubleshooting, and even rebooting.

Raritan offers two IP-Reach model lines: the TR Series and the M Series. Both model lines offer the same feature set and high performance. However, the TR Series offers the following hardware benefits demanded by carrier-grade class applications:

• Dual Redundant Power Supply
• Dual Failover Ethernet Controllers
• Upgradeable Port Density (up to four ports)
• Integrated Modem
• 2U Rack Height
