Avocent combine management of virtualized and physical assets in the Data Center
October 2007  by Marc Jacob
Avocent® Corporation introduced a major upgrade to its award-winning flagship DSView 3 management software that enables IT managers to seamlessly access and control virtualized environments in the same way they access and control their physical IT environments. Avocent DSView 3 software is the first management platform to enable combined access and control of both virtual and physical servers.

In addition to combining the management of physical and virtual servers under one roof, DSView 3 software also supports VMware by creating a unified view of the entire virtual infrastructure within an enterprise with multiple VirtualCenters – something only DSView 3 software can do. Typically, VirtualCenters are viewed separately and require IT managers to access them on an individual basis for management. DSView 3 software can consolidate, display and enable access to all virtual machines across multiple VirtualCenters. Additionally, DSView 3 software can consolidate visibility across multiple ESX Servers or a combination of VirtualCenters and ESX Servers, allowing IT managers a combined view across an entire infrastructure to see all physical and virtual servers and machines on a single screen, saving time and simplifying management.

Along with its benefits, virtualization also introduces new levels of complexity for IT security teams associated with administering access rights, maintaining those rights as virtual servers are moved in data centers, managing virtual servers across different virtual centers, and protecting multiple virtual servers from the failure of any single physical component. To address these issues, DSView 3 software authenticates users and audits access with a single record of who is doing what and why. The software is able to collect events and alerts from both types of servers in a single interface for easier access, control and rights management for improved adherence to federal regulations and company security policies.

Specific functionality in this software update includes:

· Integration and discovery between DSView 3 software and VMware Virtualization Infrastructure

· Synchronization of changes

· The inclusion of events and alarms from the VMware virtualization infrastructure

· Ability to view and access multiple Virtual Centers from a single console

The updated DSView 3 software also has expanded support for blades systems to include IBM, generic blade systems, and additional HP system models, adding to the HP and Dell blades systems models supported since last year. With DSView 3 software, IT managers can configure and display blade systems, including blade systems running virtual machines, as well as access the blades directly.

DSView 3 software with virtualization and blades support will be available on Tuesday, September 11. This new support will be sold as an add-on module for DSView 3 software and will be available in packs based on the number of servers to be managed.
