5250 Series Extends MRV's Complete Out-of-Band Management Solution, Adding
Higher-Density and Three-Phase Power Options
CHATSWORTH, Calif., October 16,
2006 -- MRV COMMUNICATIONS, INC. (Nasdaq: MRVC), a leading provider of
products and services for
out-of-band networking, WDM and optical transport,
metro Ethernet, fiber optic components, 10GE and other service aware networking
products, today announced the 5250 Power Control Series family of enterprise AC
power control devices, which provides remote power management for intelligent
power distribution and enables maximum operational uptime.
The 5250 products are the latest additions to MRV’s product family that works in
conjunction with the
MRV LX Series of console servers to provide a complete
out-of-band networking solution. The 5250 products are available in both
horizontal and vertical form factors with eight-, 16-, 24- and 32-port models
and are designed for a complete range of power distribution applications in
enterprise data centers or remote equipment closets.
“Power management is becoming a critical element in data centers, R&D labs and
in remote facilities to detect and correct problems quickly, and reduce the cost
of managing the operational infrastructure,” said Noam Lotan, MRV president and
CEO. “The addition of the 5250 series to the MRV power management family gives
us greatly expanded flexibility to meet increasing demands.”
The 5250 series models accept 20- or 30-Amp input, feature a number of inlet and
outlet connector options, and are available for U.S. or European installations.
The product family also includes a three-phase power model providing increased
power capacity and installation options. The 5250 family provides input current
monitoring, power up sequencing, and the ability to control and group outlets by
name, within a unit or across multiple units, providing complete manageability
and control. Integrated management control of the power control devices is
typically provided via console management via an LX Series console server. These
console servers extend security and access control to the 5250 products through
standard security infrastructure including RADIUS, SecurID, TACACS+, LDAP or
local database and are
FIPS 140-2 certified.
The 5250 series joins the recently added
MRV 4800 Power Control Series family of
-48 VDC power control products for telecommunications power control
applications. The
MRV 4800 series models connect to
MRV LX Series console servers and
feature all of the remote connectivity and security features of the 5250 series.
The four-, eight-, and 16-port power control devices support redundant power
supply routers and switches through dual 100-amp power inputs, and feature
interchangeable fuses that allow administrators to replace fuse values to change
the amperage rating of each outlet circuit.
The
MRV LX Series family of RoHS-compliant console servers provides redundancy and
security features necessary for the out-of-band networking needs of both
enterprises and carriers. Other capabilities in MRV’s integrated solution
include remote console management access via wired and wireless modems and
sensor networking to provide control of the physical and environmental
infrastructure.
The 5250 series is available now at a starting price of $765. For more
