Home Dedicated Servers Professional Upgrades Smart Console

Take control of your servers.

The Smart Console™ service provides console access to your server from anywhere in the world. This is an extremely valuable service for administrators who need frequent console access. It also allows for quick action in emergency situations by dramatically reducing server downtime.

Benefits

• Peace of Mind.
  You can access and manage your server remotely at the root-level, at any time, in order to optimize performance — to reboot, to kill consuming processes, and much more.
• Speed.
  Act quickly in emergency situations, with no dependency on data center personnel.
• Convenience.
  Access your servers anytime from anywhere. An activity log helps you keep track of all console access history.
• Minimal Downtime.
  Act quickly in emergency situations for minimal downtime. Combine Smart Console™ with Aplus.Net's server monitoring service (Smart Monitoring™), for even less downtime.
• Security.
  SSH v2 encryption keeps server access passwords safe from hackers, and supports
  all popular SSH clients.

FEATURES

• Out-of-band, serial port access
  In the event of a TCP/IP stack failure you still have access to the server via the serial port.
• Fix the problem (in the midst of chaos).
  Smart Console™ gives you low-level emergency access to Unix, Linux, and Windows 2003 servers - even if you have a slow dial-up connection.
• Audit Logging.
  Smart Console™ can log any and all interactions with the console server, providing a documented history of access attempts.
• Secure Data.
  SSH v2 encryption keeps your password(s) safe from hackers, and supports all popular SSH clients. Your servers are kept in one of our two fully optimized, state-of-the-art data centers while you maintain the environment with your own management console.
• Now available for Windows servers.
  Remote access is now available for Windows 2003 servers via Microsoft's Emergency Management Services.
