Remote server management via digitised image
15 August 2001
Computer/Embedded Technology
Video-Net Systems is offering a product that allows one to operate a larger number of servers from a remote site, regardless of where the servers are located.
Called GRACE, for global remote access control equipment, it operates platform-independently and does not require one to open the server or install software. Due to the independent operation of the network topology and the operating systems, the company claims that GRACE allows one to control one's remote servers without performance losses or otherwise adversely affecting the networking structures.
The system consists of a transmitter and a receiver. Monitor, keyboard and mouse information are transferred via ISDN, modem, WAN or LAN. GRACE, combined with the server switches of Video-Net Systems, gives local and remote access to all servers worldwide.
Grace is an industrial PC in a 19" casting equipped with a frame grabber card, an active ISDN card and a LAN card. The frame grabber card is connected to the monitor/keyboard/mouse interface of a Video-Net server switch. The unique feature here is that GRACE digitises the image and transmits it by either ISDN, modem or LAN to the remote sensor. The operator needs an analog modem, ISDN or LAN connection and a PC. The remote operators' PC converts the digitised image to VGA signals and the image can be displayed on the remote monitor.
The security of remote access is a major requirement and by combining various security systems such as CallBack and ADONIS, GRACE managers to attain a security standard that qualifies it for use in the most sensitive industries.
