Cost Effective Solutions for Remote Data-Center Access
- 1. Rackit/Minicom "Real Needs" KVM Solutions, April 7, 2009 Achieving remote KVM access to your data center – A real limit in your budget does not mean you have to sacrifice your REAL NEEDS . Introduced by: Daniel Schar, CEO, Rackit Technology Corporation Presented by: David Zucker Director, Business Development, KVM Division, Minicom Advanced Systems.
- 2. The Situation Today Remote KVM Access is the industry standard at the enterprise level. Remote control is just as vital for smaller organization but the cost was prohibitive in the past. Costs and performance have improved, making them attainable for the SMB market and in applications outside the traditional data center. Companies are now in recession mode.
- 3. The Challenge Do more with what you have Integrating new IT technology that is essential to the growth of the business in time of recession OR How to add Remote KVM access capability on a slashed budget
- 4. Why Remote Access? Pays for itself within 4 months. Technicians don’t need to go onsite. Quicker response times means less downtime. Less travel time means lower overtime and expenses and better quality of life for technical staff Humans are hot; Robots NOT. Increased Security. Increased efficiency of the IT department. IT management and maintenance of the branch office.

- 6. Fork Lift vs. Face Lift A reduction in the IT budget can represent a limitation to some of the most mission critical, core business functions. “ Rip & Replace” or “Fork Lift” methodology. THIS DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THE CASE. Upgrade the analog KVM or “Face Lift” methodology. Address your real needs.
- 7. Real Needs™ Benefits Save on new expenses : Upgrade your business within your reasonable budget. Lower Installation costs. Maximize past investments: Continue to reap the rewards of prior infrastructure and investments. Don’t throw away perfectly working products (green approach). Leverage corporate know-how. No extra training costs. Adding new technology on top of existing analog KVM switches is less costly and more efficient than replacing the whole IT analog KVM switch install base.
- 8. Real Needs™ In Action The following case study demonstrates the power of the Real Needs ™ approach: Company : Canadian Research Office with 1000 employees. Data Center : 220 servers from various manufacturers spread over 2 floors. Need : Two concurrent users per rack for new servers, repurpose analog KVM serial consoles and a single browser based page for access to everything.
