Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a modular management gateway apparatus for providing keyboard, video and mouse communications with a target device in communication with the apparatus. The apparatus may have a housing with a field programmable gate array (FPGA) housed within the housing. An uplink port is included to enable communication between a user operated device and the apparatus via a network. A memory is used for containing a software module for carrying out at least one operating feature of the apparatus. A video compression hardware and software subsystem is used for providing 4K video transfer between the apparatus and the target device. A USB-C enables video signals and serial data to be communicated between the apparatus and the target device.

Abstract: A system and method for optimizing processing of keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) data in an internet protocol (IP) network environment receives via public interface access requests from users directed to KVM targets. The system includes a public and private virtual local area network (VLAN) linked by a bonded interface and general-purpose and optimized application containers. The general-purpose container initiates a KVM session and creates a network address translation (NAT) route (associated with an IP address visible to the user) and a dedicated interface via which the user may send KVM data directly and through the optimized application container, which prioritizes KVM data so it can pass without preemption through the private VLAN and to its intended KVM target in real-time or near real-time. The NAT route and external IP address may be reused for multiple access sessions to different KVM targets from the same user.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for managing an application of power from first and second power sources to a plurality of components mounted within an equipment rack. The method involves determining the number of components located within the equipment rack, and also determining a maximum power available from each of the first and second power sources. For each one of the components, first and second power budgets are determined. The first power budget represents an amount of power available to each one of the components when both of the first and second power sources are available for use, and the second power budget represents a power available to each when only the second power source is available for use.

Abstract: A system for monitoring, controlling and optimizing power usage and cooling utilization within a data center infrastructure. The system may make use of a subsystem which is adapted to obtain real time information on both facility devices and information technology (IT) devices. The subsystem may be used to evaluate the real time information to provide an alert and diagnostic information with respect to at least one of the facility devices or at least one of the IT devices. The subsystem may also make use of a mechanism that provides real time control over at least one of the facility devices or at least one of the IT devices to optimize at least one of cooling utilization, power usage or performance of at least one of the facility devices or at least one of the IT devices.

Abstract: A remote access appliance is disclosed for facilitating communications between a managed device and a user located remotely from the appliance and from the managed device. The appliance may have a processor adapted to facilitate the communication of keyboard, video and mouse information between the appliance and the managed device. A manageability subsystem may be incorporated for communicating with the managed device and collecting information concerning operation of the managed device, without the need to first transmit the information over a network.

Abstract: In one aspect the present disclosure relates to a remote access appliance for facilitating communications between a managed device and a user located remotely from the managed device. The appliance may have a processor adapted to facilitate the communication of keyboard, video and mouse information between the appliance and the managed device. A rack data unit (RDU) subsystem may be used which is adapted to manage communications with, and to receive sensor data directly from, at least one remotely located sensor located at the managed device, without the need to transmit the sensor data over a network. An interface may also be used for interfacing the appliance to the managed device.
