These comparisons are made using the published specification sheets and current product manuals for outpost competitors. The product differences are significant and too numerous to adequately address here. However, we have highlighted several major differences to assist you in your product selection.

It is important to note that most competitors are either a KVM company specializing in Windows servers or terminal servers companies trying to use terminal servers to perform functions they were not designed to do. OutPost, its people, and its’ products were exclusively designed to provide console management solutions and to specialize in disaster recovery solutions, dark data center implementations and data center consolidations. The most significant overall difference is that the OutPost products were built to provide an efficient way to deliver out-of-band access in an integrated manner to all of the managed equipment.

Universal Management & Compatibility
OutPost does provide much more extensive monitoring, access and management to more types of devices and is compatible with more solutions. This enables you to monitor and manage any existing or new equipment immediately. You can monitor and manage that troublesome Brocade switch and Sun boxes until you are able to replace them. Then you can re-deploy the same ENS unit to manage the new equipment.

All competitors have a much more narrowly defined set of products that it will provide access to and are generally only compatible with their own equipment for more integrated solutions. For example, Most competitors do not have an integrated power management. If they do they generally will only work with their own very limited selection of provided power stripsTheir solutions often do not provide assorted rack mount solutions, DC outlets or varied AMP and plug types. OutPost will work with anyone’s intelligent power strips and enable the same ease of control by simply pushing a button.

Most competitors KVM technologies will only work with its own KVM products which require investing in completely new systems and purchasing extensive licensing for it software. OPS Command Center and the integrated KVM solution can connect to and manage almost anyone’s KVM products. In fact the IP Sentinel solution can even digitize most existing analog KVMs, which are already installed and wired into a system.
