Features and Benefits
The DSView® software interface, part of the Avocent DS management software suite, lets you easily associate server names with actual power outlet ports on the SPC power control device. DSView software also allows grouping of dual-server power supplies as well as separating the power supplies on different power sources. This gives you true redundancy and control of dual-powered servers.

Note: DSView software licenses are sold separately.
