This article will explain in detail the application analysis of KVM in IDC computer room. The content of the article is of high quality, so the editor will share it with you for reference. I hope you will have a certain understanding of the relevant knowledge after reading this article.

First, background introduction

With the development of information technology, various industries are carrying out their own pace of information construction non-stop. For the design institutes whose main business is to design and manufacture innovative and technological products, whether the internal IT infrastructure equipment and computer room management structure is perfect or not will directly affect the production capacity of the products. Especially in the face of the increasing scale of production capacity, the number of management and application complexity of computer room systems and servers will also increase relatively. Network managers have to control and manage a large number of servers in different computer rooms, and these servers cover a variety of operating platforms, the traditional point-to-point decentralized management has been unable to meet our needs.

Second, the environment of computer room

At present, a certain company has set up two computer rooms, but there is no unified management technology. at present, the two remote computer rooms of the center have 20km distance from the control center: the first computer room has 200 PC servers and the second computer room has 90 PC servers. The control center can realize a computer room equipment, and different computer rooms have different requirements for the number of local control terminals, so it is impossible to achieve global access to the equipment control of all computer rooms. A large number of servers are concentrated in the computer room, and complex connection wires will cause confusion in the computer room. in addition, limited by the connection distance between the control end and the computer end, the personnel entering and leaving the computer room are complicated and frequent, which is easy to cause low work efficiency. at the same time, there are hidden dangers, while the noise, radiation and temperature in the environment of the computer room will also cause harm to the health of maintenance personnel for a long time. The network center computer room needs to establish a simple and effective management mode for the computer room, and needs a management equipment that can be controlled remotely. The system is a large-scale management system, which requires easy management and monitoring of remote control objectives, so we need a KVM solution with cross-platform support, and through centralized and hierarchical management to assist network managers to effectively access and control servers of different operating systems.

three。 The choice of KVM

In view of the challenges faced by the company's computer room management, Anteng Technology immediately provided complete computer room upgrade planning suggestions. Aiteng has now become a powerful channel supplier in China's KVM market and one of the KVM SWITCH manufacturers in China. After a long period of careful evaluation and contact with a number of manufacturers. I finally chose to use various KVM computer room management solutions of Anteng Technology, and the Anteng Century Science and Technology Association helped to carry out the construction project. The requirement of our company's computer room upgrade plan is to enable 10 network managers to control the server at the same time or independently, and 3 of them can log in to manage the computer room through IP connection from the remote end. Therefore, Acer is providing its ALTUSEN series of matrix Matrix KVM multi-computer switch-KM0432 (4 groups of control terminals, 32 ports) and its cross-platform control side and computer-side module series according to its needs. In addition, it also includes 8-port KVM multi-computer switch-CS128A and remote computer room management solution-CN6000 KVM on the NET.

There are a large number of server equipment in the driver's room, which are distributed in a large number of cabinets. The infrastructure proposed by Anteng is to connect KM0432 and CS128A in series through computer-side modules and CAT Category 5 network cables, and to connect to all servers behind through CS128A. For the requirement of remote control, the CN6000 is connected to the KM0432 through the control module to open up an IP channel and provide corresponding permissions, and the network administrator can remotely control the server in the computer room through LAN, WAN, or Internet. KM0432 is a matrix multi-control Matrix KVM multi-computer switch with 4 control terminals and 32 ports, which allows 4 users to access and control 32 servers, which is suitable for medium and large enterprises with many servers and computer rooms. The matrix Matrix KVM multicomputer switch provides high scalability. It supports both Cascade and Daisy Chain serial connection, and the computer room staff can manage up to thousands of servers through serial connection. Concatenation is shown in the following figure.

With the KVM power management function, the system administrator can perform the function of shutting down the system remotely or reboot any computer or server to improve the speed and efficiency of system maintenance. We can really remotely control the computer or server in the computer room without leaving home, thanks to effective power management devices. While the company continues to expand the structure of the computer room, information security is also an important consideration. KM0432 has a three-tier password security mechanism, which can set management authority for different managers or departments to effectively carry out centralized and hierarchical management. The system topology diagram is shown below.

Through the KVM system, we can see all the node machine startup information that need to be observed, can carry out BIOS operation and can set the bottom of the computer without consuming any computer resources, and do not add any hardware and software to the computer.

This is the end of the application analysis of KVM in IDC computer room. I hope the above content can be helpful to everyone and learn more knowledge. If you think the article is good, you can share it for more people to see.
