Building on Avocent's proven expertise and the expertise customers have trusted for years, the new Avocent ADX Ecosystem is designed for use in enterprise, edge computing, cloud, and colocation environments. It supports a secure and robust remote work experience by enabling workers to quickly and seamlessly access and control data, as required by advanced engineering and design, video editing, and other high-resolution streaming applications. The Avocent ADX Ecosystem includes the fastest and most feature-rich 4K KVM in a single device, with the broadest IT device management on the market.  

The Avocent ADX ecosystem is built on a common architecture, using the open standards, platforms, and APIs that users require, while enabling rapid, secure, and scalable deployments of IT devices from the enterprise to the edge. The Avocent ADX ecosystem incorporates Avocent® Core Insight (Avocent® ACI) technology to further enhance communication with Redfish-enabled devices. These technologies allow Avocent ADX to overcome the most persistent obstacles to remote management of distributed and hybrid architectures, including scaling systems to accommodate network growth, enabling secure access for designated users, and providing high-resolution video capabilities to support modern technologies, including USB-C connectors. 

“Customers from Edge to Enterprise, Cloud and Colocationare looking for more robust ways to securely access systems, with the huge expansion of remote work and systems management over the past two years,” said Rob Brothers, vice president of programs, data center services and support for ICD. “Vertiv is focusing on those scalable needs with its new Avocent ADX platform.”

“With the rapid expansion of AI, Internet of Things, 5G, and other data-intensive use cases, data centers of all sizes are becoming increasingly complex. Furthermore, IT platforms are located in more places outside the traditional data center, and it is critical that the IT management platform evolves to meet these new challenges and become more secure, resilient, and useful for next-generation applications,” said Angie McMillin, vice president and general manager of IT Systems at Vertiv. “Vertiv’s focus on innovation and customer challenges led to the development of the Avocent® ADX Ecosystem, leveraging modern, open architectures to enable efficient, fast, and sophisticated control of IT devices and infrastructure, including servers, remote sensors, and uninterruptible power supplies.”

The Avocent ADX ecosystem includes several individual components, each of which can be deployed independently or together for a more robust user experience. The platform offers secure and efficient management and control of virtual and physical IT infrastructure, managing both KVM and serial sessions for up to 100 or more concurrent users. Rack Manager provides resilient IP consolidation for diverse devices, as well as a path to scalability. Remote 4K KVM increases productivity and operates at higher speeds and with greater bandwidth compared to standard competing 4K KVMs. 

deployments Edge Computing, where scale and growth are common challenges.

Avocent® ADX MP1000 Management Platform: Simplifies the management, control, security, and automation of virtual and physical IT infrastructure across the enterprise and in edge computing. Manages service processors, virtual machines, IP KVM modules, and remote access devices.

Avocent® ADX RM1048P Rack Manager: Connects and manages various IT devices in the rack and can be deployed with or without the Avocent ADX MP1000. It consolidates IP addresses to mitigate any shortcomings as more equipment is added to the rack. It uses Power over Ethernet (PoE) to reduce the number of cables in the rack.

Switch^Avocent® ADX IPUHD 4K IP KVM This new addition to the Vertiv™ KVM portfolio can provide access to over 100 users and 48 unique targets in a single session, delivering 4K video and high-speed performance (20 GB uplink) to enable real-time remote device and data management. Each switch is equipped with USB-C connectors with shorter cable lengths. With PoE and IP consolidation, cabling requirements are drastically reduced.
