Today Raritan released Dominion KX II-101-V2 Release 5.3, providing several enhancements that will delight both Government and non-Government users. With this new release, the Dominion KX II-101-V2 continues to be a leader in the one port KVM/IP class, offering the highest in video resolution, and becomes the only one in its class to offer mobile access (with CC-SG) and FIPS 140-2 encryption.
With mobile KVM access for iPhone and iPad, users can now access and control servers connected to the Dominion KX I-101-V2 via their Apple iPhones and iPads. This provides emergency 24x7 out-of-hours access, as well as convenient everyday access for iPad enthusiasts. CC-SG Release 5.2 or later is required for this capability.
To meet the changing technology needs of KVM customers, the Dominion KX II-101-V2 now supports High Definition (HD), 1080p remote video resolution. In addition, popular widescreen formats are supported including 1600x1200, 1680x1050 and 1440x900, so remote users can work with today’s higher resolution monitors.
For government, military and other high security applications, the Dominion KX II-101-V2 is the first device in its class to use a validated FIPS 140-2 Cryptographic Module for enhanced encryption. Modules tested and validated as conforming to FIPS 140-2 are accepted by federal agencies of the U.S. and Canada for the protection of sensitive information. Other security features, including IPv6, security banner, and SNMPv3 are also supported with this new release.

Location: Room 514C
Title: DCIM, what is it and how is it helping data center managers today in improving operational and energy efficiencies?
Abstract: There has been a lot of buzz, hype, and confusion around DCIM (data center infrastructure management) software that has been created by both vendors and industry analysts in the past year. In this session you will learn how data center managers like yourself are actually filtering out this hype and confusion and are using DCIM to drive data center operational excellence. Once such scenario is to automate existing manual processes for managing moves, adds and changes (MACs). Another scenario enables managers to make better informed decisions using intelligence built into DCIM to reduce cooling energy costs. Both examples will be supported with real-world ROIs.

We got a nice mention in this article at the website Silicon Angle. Their article is based on a report by Wikibon that shows how intelligent racks are technically and economically advantageous for data centers.
The figures they quote are staggering. A whopping 70% boost in asset management.
Raritan’s smart rack management solution captures detailed power statistics at the room-, zone-, row-, rack, PDU, and outlet-level on a continuous basis. It helps data center managers track and visualize data center assets, collect a wide range of power information including current, voltage, kW, kVA, kWh, and environmental data such as temperature, humidity, airflow, and differential air pressure. Plug-and-play sensors are easily deployed such as at cool-air inlets following ASHRAE guidelines. Raritan’s solution also offers multiple layers of security – including SNMPv3, HTTPS, SSL, AES, Active Directory®, LDAP/S, and SSH.
Data center managers can easily monitor their operation’s health, maintain a holistic view of the data center and quickly take corrective action when necessary with a smart rack solution.
