Rack and Power Infrastructure Products

Want a switch for remote management of all your servers, network devices, and technology infrastructure?

HPE Enterprise IP KVM switches can allow an administrator to manage up to 1024 servers across two tiers from a single local console in cascaded environments. When tiered with additional HPE switches application installations and upgrades can be pushed to any server from the local console or remotely. HPE Enterprise IP KVM switches along with the IP Console Viewer allows remote access to multiple servers running various operating systems. Virtual Media allows a removable drive or ISO image to be remotely mapped to an attached server or a remote office. An intuitive Local Console User Interface provides menus for configuration, virtual media, display, security and upgrades that is the same as the On Board Web Interface (OBWI) used for remote management. Implement two-factor authentication to increase security in the data center with CAC compatibility.

Looking for a simple and intuitive solution that allows you to access and manage servers in your data center? HPE Advanced Analog KVM console rack switches allow you to view and manage up to 256 rackmount servers through a single user interface. They utilize a local On-Screen Display (OSD) interface, accessed through a rack console such as the HPE LCD8500, that provides intuitive menus for accessing each attached server or serial managed device. HPE Advanced Analog KVM console switches support an optional USB Remote Access Key that allow you to upgrade to KVM-over-IP functionality, providing remote access and management via the On-Board Web Interface (OBWI). Standard rack mounting of the console switch will share 1U (1.75-inch) of front panel rack space with the rack console. However, each model can also be mounted in a "zero U" profile by mounting in the side rails of the rack.

Need a console with the latest in KVM technology to manage the servers in your rack? Knowledge is power – know what’s going on right at the rack with HPE KVM.

HPE KVM Console Kits provides high-performance display panel and keyboard with touch pad in a 1U form factor. The 1U rackmount form factor allows for a KVM console switch to be mounted directly behind it. The HPE LCD8500 with 18.5-inch WXGA TFT LCD Brightview display supports most common video resolutions, up to 1600 x 1200 at 60 to 75 Hz refresh rates.

The LCD8500 features a silver enclosure making identification in the rack easier. The integrated keyboard includes a three-button touch pad with four (4) scroll keys and Windows shortcut keys. Also included, is a new Lid Switch display management feature that shuts off the display backlight when the console is closed and repowers to its current state when opened again, helping to prolong the life of the display panel.

Do you require basic, reliable power in a flexible form factor that you can place where needed in the rack? With simple 0U and 1U install options, HPE G2 Basic Power Distribution Units (PDUs) allow you to configure access to power in your rack where you need it the most. HPE G2 Basic PDUs provide a low-profile single-piece design for easy access to rear devices for maintenance. Vertical PDUs can be installed on either side of the rack with outlets facing back for easy access and improved clearance. For higher power density configurations, install side by side on both sides of the rack with the outlets facing center. Horizontal/Modular PDUs offer a modular architecture designed for data center customers who want to maximize power distribution and space efficiencies. The Control Unit or core can be mounted in any 1U space or in 0U space on the side of HPE Racks between the RETMA rails. Extension Bars mount directly to the frame so you can configure access to power where you need it.

Do you need secure remote access to connected devices with easy management and control? IT professionals who spend significant time in server rooms know the importance of a good quality KVM console switch with the features that you need to access your compute, storage, and networking hardware. HPE Advanced IP KVM can help IT Managers do more with less including better utilization of existing IT assets, especially in dynamic virtual IT environment. By providing secure, remote access and control of your connected devices, you can consolidate device management anywhere in the world while reducing operating and equipment costs.

Do you need consolidated server access, management, and control for desktop and rack-mount environments?
The ATEN G2 Standard Series Analog KVM Switch for HPE offers a cost-effective solution. Target device selection is easy with 3 options: port selection through push-buttons on the switch, hotkey combinations from the keyboard, or a menu-driven on-screen display. This switch easily connects servers with KVM consoles such as the HPE LCD8500 1U Rackmount Console kit, or other monitor, keyboard, and mouse configurations.The ATEN G2 switch combines multi-platform OS support with a selection of models featuring up to 16 ports and tiering support for up to 256 devices. This switch features two-level password security for authorized users to view and control connected devices, while supporting 4 user profiles and an administrator profile. All ATEN G2 KVM Switch models are backed by HPE Foundation Care extensions, which match the server’s warranty and service levels at no additional cost.

Looking for a flexible, accurate power distribution solution that allows metering and switching at the outlet level and supports both local and remote power management?

The HPE G2 Metered and Switched Power Distribution Unit (PDU) provides both local and remote power management with outlet-level power metering and switching. An LCD screen provides local monitoring and alert indications, while remote access and configuration are available through secure Web, SNMP, CLI, or Telnet interfaces. Remote outlet monitoring offers ±1% billing grade accuracy while remote switching capabilities support power on/off functionality to remotely reboot equipment or restrict outlet usage. The G2 Metered and Switched PDU features a low-profile, single-piece design with multiple mounting options and ease of access to rear devices for maintenance. It is compatible with all Advanced and Enterprise Series Racks, as well as with many non-HPE racks using standard button and keyhole mounting.

Is your IT power demand scaling faster than your cooling capacity? The HPE Adaptive Rack Cooling system allows for increased computing power without adding to the heat load in the data center. Using a closed-loop, room-agnostic design, the HPE Adaptive Rack Cooling system is capable of cooling fully populated racks, even with top bin processors. The horizontal airflow of the HPE Adaptive Rack Cooling system fully supports industry-standard front-to-back cooling designs and standard server dimensions. Additionally, the implementation of variable speed fans within the system, enables improved energy efficiencies by providing the right volume of airflow to all devices, regardless of the mounting position or workload. By increasing power density without the need for extensive cooling upgrades, the HPE Adaptive Rack Cooling system can economically extend the life of the data center.
