The Cyclades ACS console server provides enterprise and telecom networks with a complete, secure console management solution. When combined with integrated power management and centralised administration, the Cyclades ACS console server offers a secure and consolidated out-of-band infrastructure (OOBI) management solution. Using a hardened Linux operating system, the Cyclades ACS provides optimal performance, security and reliability.

The Cyclades ACS offers advanced hardware features to meet the requirements of even the most demanding data centre management applications. PCMCIA slots allow for enhanced functionality with support for many interface cards, such as modem (V.92 and ISDN), Ethernet, fast Ethernet (fiber optic) and wireless LAN (GSM, CDMA and GPRS). The Cyclades ACS also allows for automatic Ethernet failover by using a PCMCIA slot as a second Ethernet port, hence providing Ethernet redundancy. The Cyclades ACS's optional dual-entry redundant power supply (AC/DC) provides extra reliability, ensuring availability during critical times.
