Lantronix Advanced Modular Console Manager

The Lantronix® SLC™ 8000 advanced console manager is the industry's first modular console server that provides secure remote access to IT equipment ensuring business continuity during unplanned network outages.

Centrally Manage, Monitor and Troubleshoot

Designed for system administrators and test engineers, the SLC 8000 advanced console manager provides easy and secure administration and management of IT equipment from anywhere and at any time. Users can access the SLC 8000 device ports via Telnet/SSH, or a web browser-based console client without any proprietary software. Any IT asset that provides console or serial port management services can be managed remotely and locally. The SLC 8000 enables users to leverage the command line interface for reconfiguring, rebooting and reloading firmware from anywhere, anytime. This can be done over an in-band network for both public and management networks, or via out-of-band connections including dial-up (optional) and cellular connectivity (via the Lantronix G520 LTE Cellular Connectivity Kit, optional). Integrated automatic failover/failback mechanism allows users to connect seamlessly to their equipment even when one network is too congested or unresponsive. The users can securely access and control a wide variety of network, server, and power infrastructure in data centers and distributed sites. With network performance monitoring, an SLC 8000 unit can be configured to monitor network traffic with a variety of metrics continuously and reliably.

Modular Design

The modular design of the SLC 8000 console manager enables users to simply add or swap modules to expand the number of device ports, upgrade from a single power supply to dual, and easily introduce new serial interfaces such as USB to support a combination of existing and new IT equipment that are connected. This reduces the time required to develop and deploy new services, and this flexibility minimizes capital expenditures while offering easy scalability and upgrades.

Integrated Security

? Protecting IT resources is a top priority. The SLC 8000 provides security features such as SSL and SSH for data encryption in addition to remote authentication for integration with other systems already in place. For added protection, the SLC 8000 also includes firewall features to reject connection attempts or block ports and has NIST-certified AES encryption. The SLC 8000 also supports FIPS 140-2 certified mode for government and military applications.
