Data where you are to where you need it...

The new Virtual Media advantage for Avocent's DSR line gives administrators virtual media capability through Avocent's DSView® 3 software, locally and remotely. Administrators can remotely load software by mapping a local removable media or mass storage device to a remote server. This allows file transfers, application and OS patches, and diagnostic testing from a CD. Imagine loading a CD on your laptop and having it mapped to your server in the data center, or inserting your USB flash drive at home and having it on the remote office server instantly. Now you can upgrade servers all over the world from wherever you are. See the DSR Virtual Media enables switches.

Virtual Media for the data center is also offered on the Autoview 2030, for local virtual media.

Map any local removable drive to any attached server

Activating Virtual Media is simple and easy, right from the tool bar during a DSView session. Select Virtual Media, then select the drive on your machine you want seen on the remote server, quick and simple. No more driving a CD to a remote location, late night trips to the data center or overnighting software to a remote city office. You can transport the media there, virtually, anytime from anywhere. Your life just became a whole lot simpler.

Virtual media is available on a variety of DSR models to meet every need. If you're ready to make the move to hassel free remote operation, give us a call about Virtual Media from Avocent.

Place holder

Floppy drives, CD, DVD or flash drive - through your DSView® 3 software your local removable drives can instantly be mapped to your Virtual Media enabled DSR (see list on the right). With the click of your mouse any or all of your local drive can instantly be available to the remote server as though it were one of its own drives. You can read from the drive and even write to the drive at the remote server so remote upgrades are a breeze. Make new updates instantly available on your servers, down the hall or around the world. Virtual Media from Avocent makes it a reality. The instant you click the button, it appears on the remote server. It will even autorun CDs - remotely!

Available on the DSR1030, DSR2030, DSR4030 and DSR8030. See all Virtual Media DSRs.
