Question
What is required for virtual media? A Dominion KX III virtual media CIM is required.
Is virtual media secure?
Does virtual media really support
audio?
What is a USB profile?
Answer
There are two VGA-based CIMs: a
D2CIM-VUSB or D2CIM-DVUSB.
The D2CIM-VUSB has a single USB connector
and is for customers who will use virtual media
at the OS level.
The D2CIM-DVUSB has dual USB connectors
and should be purchased by customers who
wish to utilize virtual media at the BIOS level.
The D2CIM-DVUSB is also required for smart
card authentication, tiering/cascading and digital
audio.
Both support virtual media sessions to target
servers supporting the USB 2.0 interface.
Available in economical 32 and 64 quantity CIM
packages, these CIMs support Absolute Mouse
™
Synchronization as well as remote firmware
updates.
Our CIMs have traditionally supported analog
VGA video. Three new dual virtual media CIMs
support digital video formats, including DVI,
HDMI and DisplayPort. These are the
D2CIM-DVUSB-DVI, D2CIM-DVUSB-HDMI and
D2CIM-DVUSB-DP.
Yes. Virtual media sessions are secured using
256-bit AES or 128-bit AES encryption.
Yes. Audio playback and recording to a server
connected to the Dominion KX III is supported.
You can listen to sounds and audio playing on a
remote server in the data center using the
speakers connected to your desktop PC or
laptop. You can also record on the remote
server using a microphone connected to your
PC or laptop. A digital CIM or D2CIM-DVUSB
dual virtual media CIM is required.
Certain servers require a specifically configured
USB interface for USB-based services such as
virtual media. The USB profile tailors the KX III's
USB interface to the server to accommodate
these server-specific characteristics.
