CC1000 Control Center Over the NET™ allows administrator to consolidate all the IT devices from a single IP address at anytime, anywhere

Taipei, Taiwan, November 28th, 2006. ATEN International, leading designer, manufacturer and distributor of cutting-edge connectivity solutions today announced a further completion of its ALTUSEN Over the NET™; product line with the introduction of the CC1000 Control Center Over the NET™. CC1000 is a software-based solution for the secured and centralized management of entire IT infrastructure in multiple data centers, branch offices and remote locations. It is designed for IT administrators to
effectively consolidate the management of all the Over the NET™; and other IP-based IT devices through a single IP address.

"The continuance of business processes is most crucial for today's enterprises. Therefore, they have to ensure that their IT systems - especially their mission critical equipment and network data - are safe and can effectively be managed." says Kevin Chen, President of ATEN International. " ATEN's software solution CC1000 Control Center Over the NET™ provides administrators with a convenient and flexible tool for consolidating the management of all servers and network equipment in their local and remote data centers. Thus, they can meet the needs of their IT infrastructure at anytime from anywhere in the world."

The browser-based GUI in CC1000 has an intuitive tree structure and allows users to conveniently access, control, configure and administrate their entire network equipment from a single IP address.

The CC1000 features tight security procedures, including Role-Based Access and Control (RBAC), IP-based Access Control Lists and IP filtering, of which enables administrators to regulate user access and control down to the port level. Not only the administrators can monitor and manage the active user sessions and ports in real time, but also define permission-based groupings and device views. Furthermore, the CC1000 provides 128-bit SSL encryption, user name and password authentication, flexible session time-outs and password expirations, and includes multi-layer security features that allow the integration of existing external authentication tools, such as Active Directory.

As high-availability and zero data loss are crucial for distributed network environments, the CC1000 not only offers health updates, alarms and an array of flexible logging and reporting options with audit trails for diagnostics and troubleshooting to help users to identify potential problems, but integrates an on-board authentication server which provides failover in the event of external server or network problems, and offers Syslog and SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) integration to minimize the recovery time.

The CC1000 is an extraordinary flexible and scalable solution. With its various license options (3, 5 or 10 user account licensing) it is open for different needs and can be easily increased if the company's conditions change. It is also able to handle different user access levels and to grow with the network of the customer. It is open for managing multi-user access to hundreds of ALTUSEN appliances and thousands of network devices what makes the CC1000 a very cost-effective, adaptable solution for expanding enterprises.

About the KVM Switch

KVM (Keyboard, Video and Mouse) switches are control units that allow access to multiple computers from a single console. Before the development of KVM switches, the only way to control multiple computers from a single console was through a complex and costly network. Now, with the KVM switch, people can easily access multiple computers or platforms in a convenient, space saving and cost effective manner.
