SmartRack 232
The Smart, Space-Saving Solution for KVM access
At the rack, every bit of space is valuable. The SmartRack 232 helps IT administrators
impose order on the chaos of overcrowded server rooms by seamlessly integrating
two essential elements, an LCD drawer and a KVM switch. With centralized
management of up to 32 servers, IT personnel have a powerful tool for streamlining
workflow at the rack. By reducing cable clutter, the SmartRack 232 gives IT managers
sorely needed room in the data center. This extra room translates into money saved,
as less racks are needed for the data center.
The SmartRack 232 is an integrated KVM switch for two users, with simultaneous
access and control of up to 32 mixed-platform (PS/2 and USB) servers. The
SmartRack 232 is based on Minicom’s innovative ROC technology, in which each
computer/server is directly connected to the switch via the ROC using a standard
CAT5 cable at a distance of up to 30m/100ft in a star configuration.
Security
The SmartRack 232, designed to prevent unauthorized access and security breaches,
is the secure solution for built-in KVM access at the rack. The SmartRack 232 has
multi-layer security through the OSD, and ensures that only authorized users can
control or access the servers.
Leverage Your Location With Extended or Remote Access Options
The SmartRack 232 has the option of extending the location of a second user via
CAT5 with Minicom’s KVM Extender USB up to a distance of 150m/500ft.
SmartRack 232: Part of the Product Family
Minicom has a proven track record of increasing IT infrastructure efficiency and
making the most of physical limitations in the data center. The SmartRack 232 joins
Minicom’s established, successful product line of space-saving LCD drawers with
integrated KVM switches, the SmartRack 116 and the SmartRack 116 IP.
