System Enterprise management - Command Center
Dominion KVM and Serial appliances, including DSX II, KX III and KX4-101, integrate with Raritan's CommandCenter Secure Gateway. With the CommandCenter management system, administrators can manage multiple Raritan devices. Users can access hundreds or thousands of computer and networking devices from a single, integrated system. If you own five or more Raritan appliances, users generally select CommandCenter for centralized management and access. However Raritan Command Center cannot manage the new ZPE serial console products, now users can also consider the ZPE Nodegrid Manager system which can manage both.
We offer advice and assistance to acheive the best system setup. Installation assistance and consultancy services if required.
From December 31st 2025 - DSX2 Sales End.
We will continue Support for existing DSX2 Units.
