Emerson Network Power Bolsters Security In Best-in-Class Management Platform
Enhancements to Avocent® universal management gateway appliance reduce risk of intrusion and expand multi-vendor support.
Emerson Network Power has introduced firmware updates to its Avocent® Universal Management Gateway (UMG) appliance that further harden the industry’s preeminent secure UMG platform. The enhanced Avocent UMG is available globally.
Already the only management system on the market that can manage data center infrastructure through service processor, serial and KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) connections, the enhanced Avocent UMG further refines root-level access controls, reducing the risk of malicious intrusion. The latest firmware release provides updated support for a long list of service processors — including recent additions Oracle iLOM3, Dell iDrac8 and Dell Series C — and service processor firmware. These enhancements, and the Avocent UMG’s ability to isolate the management network from the rest of the environment, provide an added layer of security that bolsters overall data center security in multi-vendor environments.
