What is the LARA eco?
The LARA eco is a digital KVM-over-IP device that enables IT administrators to access and control one or more servers with BIOS-level functionality. It is completely hardware and OS-independent; users can troubleshoot and reconfigure servers even when servers are down. When combined with a common KVM Switch, LARA eco allows multiple administrators to access server KVM consoles from anywhere, via any networked workstation.


How does LARA eco differ from remote control software?
LARA eco is not a software but a hardware solution, so it is much more powerful. Its OS and hardware independence allows management of any type of server running any OS, whether Intel, Sun, PowerPC running Windows, Linux, Solaris, Novell, etc.
LARA eco is:
  • Agent-less and State-independent. When used with the IPM 220-L Power Management Unit, it does not require the OS of a managed server to be up and running, nor does it require any special software to be installed on the managed server. The LARA eco can operate Out-of-Band, so even if the managed server's own network connection is unavailable, the server can still be managed through LARA eco.
  • 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, LARA eco still works flawlessly to enable these configurations to be made. 



Can two people look at the same server at the same time?
Yes, LARA eco allows more than one user to look at the same server at the same time.


What hardware, software, or network configuration is required to access LARA eco from a client?
LARA eco is completely Web-accessible so no proprietary software needs to be installed on the access clients. LARA eco can be accessed via any major Web browser including: Internet Explorer, Netscape and Mozilla. Currently, LARA eco requires a Java-enabled Web browser.
