Remote Access

Answer
When using Dominion KX III remotely, the
interface, at first glance, may seem similar to
remote control software such as pcAnywhere
®
Windows Terminal Services/Remote Desktop,
VNC, etc. However, because Dominion KX III
is not a software but a hardware solution, it's
much more powerful:
Hardware- and OS-independent – Dominion
KX III can be used to manage servers running
many popular OSs, including Intel
PowerPC running Windows, Linux
etc.
State-independent/Agentless – Dominion KX
IIKX IIII does not require the managed server
OS to be up and running, nor does it require
any special software to be installed on the
managed server.
Out-of-band – Even if the managed server's
own network connection is unavailable, it can
still be managed through Dominion KX III.
BIOS-level access – Even if the server is hung
at boot up, requires booting to safe mode, or
requires system BIOS parameters to be
altered, Dominion KX III still works flawlessly to
enable these configurations to be made.
Yes. The Dominion KX III ships standard with
19" rack mount brackets. It can also be reverse
rack mounted so the server ports face forward.
Dominion KX III is only 1U high (except the
KX3-864 and KX3-464, which are 2U), fits in a
standard 19" rack mount and is only 11.4" (29
cm) deep. The Dominion KX3-832 and
KX3-864 are 13.8" (36 cm) deep.
