Avocent's DSView 2.0 features DSWebview for browser-based access to multiple servers.

Avocent Corporation (NASDAQ/NM: AVCT), a provider of KVM switching and network connectivity appliances, recently announced DSView 2.0, which features DSWebview, a browser-based version of the management software that is the cornerstone of Avocent's KVM OVER IP switching systems. These systems are capable of controlling virtually any number of servers in enterprise or data center environments. With DSView 2.0, administrators can use industry standard IP connections to gain secure access to any data center device. With DSWebview, administrators can troubleshoot, or even reboot a server from any location in the world using a standard web browser.

"Network administrators need the flexibility of easy and secure remote access in order to maintain their networks properly," said Gary Johnson, Avocent's senior vice president of worldwide sales and marketing. "DSView 2.0 and DSWebview use Avocent's unique, centralized authentication and audit capabilities to provide the most secure access to any data center device--all over an industry standard IP connection."

DSView 2.0 offers cross platform support and is optimized to work with Internet Explorer (5.5 +), Netscape (6.2+), Mozilla and Internet Information Server 5.0. Existing Avocent DSView 1.x customers can upgrade to DSView 2.0 at no charge.
