Feature Comparison

Uplogix Local Managers (LMs) co-locate with network devices and servers to provide local, non-stop management and control eliminating time-consuming and expensive tech support trips.

Uplogix 3200 | Enterprise Scalability and Performance
Uplogix’ flagship LM, available in 8-, 16-, 24-, or 32-port models. The Uplogix 3200 is a scalable and robust platform for enterprises that need to locally manage an ever-growing infrastructure of distributed networking gear, servers and other IT devices located at remote sites, branch locations and data centers.

Uplogix 430 | Compact and Affordable
The Uplogix 430 LM is idea for branch offices and remote sites where the requirement is to monitor, manage and control four or fewer devices (typically critical networking devices) and their power supply. The Uplogix 430 delivers Uplogix' local management functionality in a compact low cost format.

Uplogix on Cisco UCS Express
Uplogix on Cisco UCS Express is an ideal solution for customers that have standardized on Cisco hardware or that have already purchased extensible Cisco Integrated Services Routers and wish to gain the benefits of local management with a minimal hardware investment.

Uplogix uses the Cisco Unified Computing System Express as a hosting environment to embed on Cisco ISRs, making the router a full featured Uplogix Local Manager. The ISR is configured with HWIC serial port cards to allow serial port connections to up to 48 managed devices. An HWIC wireless modem is used for out-of-band access.

Uplogix Local Management Software (LMS) | The intelligence behind the LMs
The Uplogix software platform that powers our award-winning line of local managers, increasing network and system availability by directing Uplogix LMs to remotely automate hundreds of routine system maintenance, configuration, fault diagnosis and recovery operations. LMS is available in both Advanced and Standard versions for additional customization.

Feature Comparison

Feature	Capability	Uplogix 3200 Advanced	Uplogix 3200 Standard	Uplogix 430 Advanced	Uplogix 430 Standard
Access
Heterogeneous Device Access	Secure remote access and native support for any console-managed device
Secure Remote Access	Provides access via Secure Shell (SSHv2), integrates with remote authentication and accounting such as TACACS and Radius. Supports additional security features such as source address (IP and caller ID) filtering
Out-of-Band Connectivity	Supports dial-in/ PPP dial-out (with VPN support) via embedded, Iridium or GlobalStar modems
In-depth Device Monitoring	Leverage serial connection to managed device to collect data, either in-band or out-of-band, on hundreds of performance variables every 5 to 30 seconds
Environmental Monitoring	Collects and reports device environmental data for temperature and humidity to be used to trending and root cause analysis
KVM over Service Processor	Enables local access and control to a remote server (i.e. provisioning, monitoring, troubleshooting, restricting access) without having to deploy external KVM appliances; functions independent of the availability of server’s operating system or the primary network connection
Remote Web Access	Offers secure access to remote devices with web-only management interfaces without requiring additional overhead to manage
Control
Heterogeneous Device Management	Advanced driver support for remotely managing Cisco, Nortel, 3COM, Juniper, Alcatel, NetScreen, and Tasman routers, switches, and firewalls; TippingPoint intrusion prevention systems (IPS); Garmin GPS devices; Comtech, ND SatCom, and iDirect satellite modems; Iridium and GlobalStar external data modems; Solaris, Linux and Windows servers (console port); Sun, Dell, IBM, HP servers (service processor port); APC, ServerTech, and Baytech power controllers. (Service processor support requires Uplogix 3200 running Advanced RMOS)
Robust Automation	Provides automation of routine management tasks through rule-based engine. Includes diagnosis of non-standard operational state based on configurable thresholds, and execution of recovery procedure to restore normal operational state. Can be used to restore a last known good configuration, diagnose and correct failures across multiple devices, and notify IT staff of the problem and recovery action taken.
Proactive Maintenance	Supports OS upgrade with verification and locally archives OS images with full rollback support. Power-On-Self-Test (POST) data and diagnosis data (e.g. – Cisco “show tech”). Enables password recovery for certain devices through combination of device boot and power management procedures
Remote Power Management	Monitors power utilization and controls power to remotely restart a managed device
Device Recovery with SurgicalRollback™	If a configuration change fails, immediately rolls the device back to the last known good configuration; supports full commit and rollback operations
Real-Time Log Inspection & Management	Collects and inspects device console data in real-time; Sends alarm or takes predefined recovery action based specific log messages to shorten MTTR
Service Level Verification	Uses synthetic transactions to regularly collect network- and application-specific performance data. Uplogix appliances locally correlate service-level data with infrastructure performance data to triangulate, pinpoint and correct service-related problems
Service Processor Automation	Provides the ability to remotely monitor, manage, diagnose and recover servers, even if operating system has hung or the server is powered down
Enforce
Session Management	Automates session management to prevent unauthorized access
Granular Authorization	Ensures the right users have the right access by enforcing role-based, command-level authorization
Complete Logging	Audits all user access, device changes, and session activity for compliance
