The Digital Value and Vertiv collaboration began in the same year, following a market search for solutions that would best meet the needs expressed by the customer.

Simplified authorization features for user access, further expanding security features through the use of VPN protocol and Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE)
-
Flexibility and maximum reliability with keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) controls that can be activated from a standard server with proprietary connection functionality to the service processor and MIB-based controls for infrastructure such as rack power distribution units (rPDUs)
-
Improved logging steps for each activity with granular access control and device recovery from virtual media for guaranteed protection through site authentication and web certificates
-
