Introduction

Overview

ATEN’s CC2000 Centralized Management Software provides IT Teams in

every industry with a comprehensive solution that enables central management

of their IT infrastructure locally and worldwide through a single portal. The

software consolidates the management of all ATEN KVM over IP switches,

serial console servers, ATEN PDU and third party devices such as embedded

service processors, blade servers and virtual machines for in-band and out-of-

band management. The brand new CC2000 provides an easy-to-use yet robust

interface – making system management more efficient and productive.

Featuring concise and intuitive HTML 5-based web interface, the CC2000

delivers a better user experience and advanced usability. By utilizing

consolidated data, task-based navigation, and simplified menus, administrators

can access, configure, and manage all of the IT equipments with ease.

The CC2000 also features a consolidated portal, the Dashboard, to help IT staff

quickly attain a full grasp of all the important information and to complete

monitoring tasks with minimal effort and time. The Dashboard displays an at-

a-glance overview of device status, device events, task results, online users,

and licensed nodes usage. With the device status and device events sections,

administrators can be immediately notified about the condition of the

connected devices, as well as quickly receiving the generated critical logs. The

task results section delivers vital messages about operation success or failure.

Administrators can also view details of currently logged-in users and terminate

suspicious user sessions. The Dashboard’s enhanced notification functionality

helps users to promptly handle issues and fix problems efficiently.

The CC2000's patented Panel DynaArray™ mode lets administrators view the

output of multiple ports in individual panels on the same screen. The panel

configuration can combine the ports from different over-IP KVM devices and

give administrators a flexible choice

to select which devices they wish to

monitor and how the ports appear on the screen. Ports can be accessed and

managed simply by clicking on the panel it is displayed in.

The CC2000 Centralized Management Software uses Primary-Secondary

architecture to offer service redundancy. When the Primary CC2000 server

goes down, the CC2000 management system will keep functioning since one

of Secondary units can provide the required management services until the
