The ultimate solution that redefines out-of-band management and enhanced IT infrastructure management capabilities
PRINCETON, N.J. (Sep. 19, 2024): Perle Systems, a global provider of advanced serial to Ethernet and secure device networking solutions, is proud to introduce a series of IOLAN SCR Console Servers that set a new standard for secure out-of-band management solutions. With cutting-edge network operations capabilities, the IOLAN SCR series provides unparalleled network resilience and streamlined management of devices across all data centers.
Perle is dedicated to actively engaging with our customers, predicting market demands, and consistently providing exceptional value. The new IOLAN SCR Console Servers mark a significant advancement in console server technology, with the rising complexities in modern data centers, we understand the importance of having a robust management plane that can be accessed securely, anytime and anywhere. We are excited to offer our customers a solution that enhances their operational efficiency and ensures the highest level of data protection.
The IOLAN SCR Console Servers have an impressive array of 24, 40, or 56 console management ports to host RS232, Ethernet, and USB connected devices from multiple vendors. Users can, therefore, reduce the number of management nodes with an IOLAN SCR as their single appliance for comprehensive, secure remote access to all infrastructure equipment for more intelligent out-of-band management.
Designed to be a complete top-of-rack management solution, an IOLAN SCR Console Server is capable of establishing a secure management plane. Access to a robust suite of intuitive automation tools empowers administrators to seamlessly scale deployments, edit configurations, update firmware, monitor system health, schedule tasks, and automate routine actions. For advanced automation, the IOLAN SCR x86 CPU can easily run custom applications, including Python scripts, inside native Docker Containers and virtual machines (VMs) to suit unique or evolving use cases with low latency and real-time responsiveness.
The optional cellular connectivity provides predictive failover capability, allowing for smooth transitions between wired and wireless management planes. This seamless interplay ensures the reliability and availability of critical IT infrastructure components with rapid recovery that reduces the impact of network incidents.
A resilient data center also requires unbeatable security. With the integrated PerleARMOR™ security shield, developers can easily configure access controls, authentication mechanisms, and encryption protocols in compliance with all standards-based corporate policies and regulations. This simplifies security tuning and ensures only authorized personnel can manage the network devices. It also improves data packet performance on non-management interfaces, contributing to overall network efficiency.
The IOLAN SCRs also feature Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) and complete IPv4/IPv6 routing capabilities with extensive protocol support, including VRRP, RIP, OSPF, and BGP. No other OOBM Console Server on the market provides administrators with this level of comfort and familiarity for easy network integration.
Built on the company's 40-year reputation for robust and secure console management solutions, the IOLAN SCR Console Servers are poised to become the essential tool for any data center administrators looking for ease of use, security, and performance as they enhance their remote management capabilities. Backed by Perle's industry-leading technical support and comprehensive lifetime warranty, the IOLAN SCR series reaffirms Perle Systems’ position as a trusted name in enterprise-grade networking solutions.
