eRIC is the first vendor independent Remote Management Board, which is based on an on board computing core. The integrated web server together with the embedded operating system ensured highest availability and stability - regardless of the state of the server itself. Administrators work via eRIC on a remote system as if they were there

LARA

With LARA the remote maintenance of servers via common communication networks will reach a new dimension. Not only that LARA (up to 4 units in 1U) is the smallest IP extender-device in the marketplace; LARA enhances simple KVM IP Extension by adding basic remote management features like Power management, serial to IP extension or IPMI based system management. This makes LARA the first System over IP extender.

Thereby LARA provides the highest level of flexibility. Independent from the system software of a server or a special client LARA fits easily into existing IT-Environments (particularly KVM switching installations) and allows rapid installation. Using the LAN, ISDN, DSL or an analogue modem, almost every kind of data communication scenario is feasible.

Features

• Smallest KVM-IP Extender of the world - up to 4 units in 1 U
• All data between the administrators place and LARA are highly encrypted
• Power/Reset Management support built in
• No further software needed

• All text and graphics mode up to 1280x1024 @ 75 Hz

1601 IP

KVM-Switch plus IP-Extender in one device

Remote maintenance of up to 16 servers can now be easily realized with a single 1RU device thanks to 1601 IP. Functionality is as simple and thereby as safe as you are accustomed to with eRIC and LARA.

1601 IP combines a High-capacity-KVM-Switch with Peppercon's unique System-over- IP-Technology (LARA). Local access via standard monitor, Keyboard and mouse is still possible, additionally the Remote access via Internet will be made possible as with all other Peppercon appliances. With the external power supply block ePowerSwitch the Power management from afar is no longer a problem.

The special Plus of the device is its price. Compared to the purchase of a „common“ KVM-Switch plus IP-Extender, you save space and money in the rack. But also compared to competition the Peppercon 1601 IP stands in the front row.
