ATEN Expands Comprehensive LCD Console Product Line with New Dual Rail 19" Model for Convenient and Secure Control of Servers

FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif., May 4 /PRNewswire/ -- ATEN today announced a new compact, PS/2/USB console with an integrated 19" LCD monitor that features a dual rail 1U housing. The new CL5800N complements ATEN's comprehensive line of LCD consoles and works seamlessly with existing ATEN KVM switches and many third-party units via the unit's PS/2 or USB port. The unit's dual rail design allows network administrators to independently operate the 19" SXGA LCD monitor and full keyboard/touchpad module. For added convenience, a second PS/2 – USB console has been added, enabling an additional operator simultaneous access and control of any other server in the installation.

"ATEN continues to raise the bar by introducing complete server room solutions that provide network administrators with the utmost flexibility -- whether they are at the console locally or located remotely," explained Sampson Yang, CEO, ATEN. "With this dual rail 19" LCD console as our newest addition, we truly have the most expansive and affordably priced line of integrated LCD consoles on the market."

The new CL5800N offers network administrators the following benefits:

• Maximize space in the data center/server room by utilizing the unit's 1U housing and independent dual-rail functionality. The keyboard and touchpad slide to the back of the rack when not in use while the LCD monitor rotates flush against the rack -- allowing convenient monitoring of computer activity
• Users who already have a compatible KVM switch can quickly take advantage of the space saving and efficiency benefits of the sliding console module
• External Console -- supports PS/2 or USB external mice and keyboards
• Dual Interface -- supports either USB or PS/2 KVMs or computers
• DDC Emulation -- video settings of servers automatically adjust for optimum display

Pricing and Availability

Available today, the new CL5800N (19" LCD) is priced at $1,549.95, and offers an affordable and convenient solution to manage a range of servers.
