Avocent MGP5224SAC

Avocent-Cyclades MGP5224SAC, 520-540-502 MergePoint 5224 SAC - network management device

24-port SP manager, single AC power

Innovative Solution for Service Processor Management
The MergePoint 5224/5240 service processor (SP) managers simplify management of servers with SP technologies by consolidating IP connections, user access and server health information. With multiple Ethernet ports, the MergePoint 5224/5240 appliances connect point-to-point with Ethernet-based service processors, such as HP® Integrated Lights-Out (iLO),Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI, versions 1.5 and 2.0), Dell Remote Access Card (DRAC III, 4 and 5), IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II (RSA II), Sun® Advanced Lights Out Management (ALOM), Sun Integrated Lights Out Management (ILOM),
Fujitsu-Siemens integrated Remote Management Card (iRMC) and IBM BladeCenter.
By consolidating SP Ethernet ports, the MergePoint 5224/5240 SP managers require only one external IP address and Ethernet switch port for all connected devices, significantly reducing deployment costs associated with SPs. By isolating and protecting the connected SPs from the
external production network, the MergePoint 5224/5240 appliances provide secure and efficient
rack-level management with seamless integration into the management infrastructure.
As part of the MergePoint 5200 series of SP managers, the MergePoint 5224/5240 appliances provide secure Serial over LAN (SoL), power control, hardware monitoring and the new DirectCommand feature, which enables transparent, secure access to the SP’s native interface, along with IPMI provisioning and SP auto discovery. When used in conjunction with DSView 3 management software, the MergePoint 5224/5240 appliances provide essential server coverage,
which complements the overall management infrastructure.
The MergePoint 5224/5240 appliances allow enterprise-class authentication, authorization and auditing (AAA) security and encryption, and extend this functionality to all servers. Other standard features include data logging, event detection and notification and shared access to management ports.
