Cyclades OnBoard Service Processor Manager
 Innovative Solution for Service Processor Management
PDF Data Sheet
Cyclades® OnBoard service processor manager simplifies out-of-band management of next-generation servers with service processor technologies by consolidating IP connections, user access and server health information. With multiple Ethernet ports, Cyclades OnBoard appliance connects point-to-point with Ethernet-based service processors such as HP iLO, IPMI, Dell DRAC and IBM® RSA. By consolidating service processor Ethernet ports, Cyclades OnBoard service processor manager requires only one external IP address for all connected devices, reducing provisioning costs associated with service processors. Cyclades OnBoard appliance reduces costs further by routing service processor traffic through the less expensive out-of-band network, eliminating the use of switch ports on the production network.
Cyclades OnBoard service processor manager delivers Secure Rack Management™ (SRM™ - patent pending) by isolating and protecting the connected service processors from the external production network to provide efficient, rack-level management with seamless integration into the out-of-band infrastructure. Cyclades OnBoard appliance allows enterprise- class authentication, authorization and auditing (AAA) security and encryption, and extends this functionality to all servers. Other standard features include data logging, event detection and notification, SNMP proxy, graphing and alarms for sensors and shared access to management ports.
Cyclades OnBoard service processor manager provides an easy-to use, consolidated interface for out-of-band management of servers from multiple vendors by abstracting the native service processor interface for configuration, Serial over LAN (SoL) and power control. Server administrators need only learn one simple interface.
Features
- Manage HP iLO, IBM RSA, Dell DRAC, IPMI and others from a single user interface
- Centralize authentication, logging, health monitoring and control of servers
- Provide the security needed to effectively manage service processors remotely
Benefits
- Reduce the cost of deploying, monitoring and troubleshooting servers by reducing the number of IP addresses and Ethernet switch ports required for service processors
- Decrease the time to access, monitor and control servers by using a single login and user interface
- Eliminate security concerns associated with remote management of service processors
- Restrict user access to specific service processor features: power, sensors, console, Web
