Tue, June 2, 2009 Avocent Corporation: Avocent Expands Its Line of LCD Console Trays for the Data Center
HUNTSVILLE, AL--(Marketwire - June 2, 2009) - Avocent Corporation (
"The expansion of our LCD console tray product line represents continued innovation for Avocent, marking the full transition of assets from Avocent's acquisition of Ergo2000 in 2008," said Avocent Director of Product Marketing Carla White. "Our mission remains the same: to provide IT operations professionals with a full range of innovative solutions that streamlines and simplifies operations, to provide greater opportunity for cost savings from the desktop to the data center."
The 19" [ LCD console tray ] builds on the strength of Avocent's existing feature-rich LCD tray product offerings. All models mount in 1U of rack space and are capable of connecting to Avocent KVM appliances within that same space. Other models feature a fully integrated KVM appliance out of the box. Unlike the 19" console tray, the 17" model featured a screen closure switch, which automatically powered down to the LCD when the unit is closed. This means that even if a user stows it in the rack without powering off the LCD console tray, the unit will power itself down.
"The LCD console trays reinforce Avocent's ongoing commitment to innovation in power conservation and greening of the data center, as well as improving our customer's bottom line with greater cost savings," said Avocent CTO and Executive Vice President Corporate Strategy Ben Grimes. "With the advent of our screen closure switch, customers can now reduce their power usage and prevent unintended heat generation in their data center racks."
Avocent LCD console trays increase productivity and efficiency by providing enhanced rack access for managing physical or virtual servers. Installing the consoles in tandem with Avocent KVM appliances will further enhance functionality and management benefits. Customers can realize a rapid return on investment, easily measured by a notable reduction in labor required to manage their server room or data center.
