Enterprise Management Software
   

OutPost’s OPS Command Center enterprise management software allows an unlimited number of users. It is not limited to a single use like most alternative solution. OPS Command Center will enable you to easily monitor, access and manage hundreds of locations and keep track of thousands of devices throughout the network. The software provides seamless reporting and integration with HP OpenView, Compaq Insight Manager, IBM Netfinity Director, Cisco Works, and others.

 
   
 
Command Center  
 
Port Commander  

The installation of OPS Command Center will allow you to enable a solution that can be used by other individuals and IT Groups in the future without additional licensing and software upgrade requirements. There are no complex user licensing fees to negotiate and if 20 users are required then our competitors’ licensing fee for a similar solution could be over $40,000 for a 5 – 100 user license.

OPS Command Center is available with each ENS system and the following modules are inclusive in the one-time, unlimited device and unlimited user, software licensing:
Port Commander - Easy graphical configuration providing both network and remote port and device management. (similar to DSView)
Secure Sentinel - State-of-the-art secure access with multiple layers of security including 128 bit, IP packet filtering, centralized database authentication and more
Life Signs Sentinel - Monitors the life signs of your network servers and intelligent devices, sounding an alarm, with paging and email notifications, at the first sign of trouble
• EAdmin - Enables you to easily send and save configurations and port histories and provides emergency email notification with error messages and direct links
Additionally, the OutPost Command Center Software may be installed on many clients. There is no requirement to install a semi-dedicated NT server and have single point of failure.

1. Our Access Control List (ACL’s) capability and SSH encryption feature (new releases available within weeks of general availability) are the most robust in the industry today. No other competitor provides a higher degree of security built into their product than OutPost Sentinel. Security is a major OutPost Sentinel Development initiative.
2. Propagation of ACL’s may be set to automatic utilizing the automated response capabilities. This keeps all units current with all “registered” user profile information. OutPost Sentinel Development firmly believes the advantage of this methodology is superior to a RADIUS only solution. If you rely upon RADIUS when the network is down you don’t have access.
3. Our Intelligent Power Strips are the most flexible in the industry. In addition to the standard 8 and 20 plug offerings that meet most of our clients’ needs we offer a powerful combination of options (AC/DC power, 110/220 volts, 15/20/30 amp, etc.) to meet the requirements of any data center.

Integration with Legacy KVM Equipment

OutPost Sentinel can enable legacy KVM equipment by installing our Secure Sentinel KVM over IP device. This allows customers with legacy analog equipment to allow the equipment to remain thus preserving the original investment yet enable the devices for remote access and management. This can be accomplished cost-effectively by installing the Secure Sentinel and monitoring these units via the Command Center software. Command Center may be enabled for monitored Secure Sentinel devices at no additional software licensing cost.
OutPost Sentinel provides Enterprise Class hardware and software solutions – console management & power management of remote equipment, cost-effective solution. These tools are powerful enough to fully automate very complex data centers. Yet, they are simple enough for an entry level administrator to configure, monitor and operate with little or no training. The ENS provides the specific features, functions and capabilities needed to manage the data centers’ network and server equipment today and the clusters in the future. Expansions are easy and extremely cost-effective, firmware upgrades are simply, inclusive in our maintenance agreements and may be proactively delivered via our service agreement term. OutPost Sentinel is focused exclusively on the needs of our customers with these specific requirements.
