People on call can dial in if the system goes down and they can get to the console and re-boot the system, which is something we would have otherwise had to depend on an operator to do.

iAM:Consoles (formerly RoboCentral) provides centralised, agentless remote console monitoring and management of distributed IT infrastructure components to allow the constant monitoring and management of all devices and applications across your network regardless of where they are located.
iAM:Consoles (formerly RoboCentral) allows organisations to use a single Windows computer as the system console to remotely manage hundreds of UNIX/Linux and OpenVMS systems, as well as any device that communicates via a serial port, including bridges, switches, and routers. Even Windows can be monitored and managed using an Itheon agent to simulate a console port.

- Assist with managing compliance i.e. Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) by time-stamping and logging all system messages sent to the console port, creating local system logs for audit purposes
- Provides a highly secure route to the systems thereby retaining the integrity of the secure data centre.
- Consolidates all system consoles, providing full control of all systems from any location
- Identifies messages of importance using advanced text searching algorithms
Systems administrators who have to manage and monitor multiple system consoles within heterogeneous, complex, and geographically dispersed IT environments will find the ideal solution. With Itheon's Console (RoboCentral) Monitoring and Management solution, you can bring all the consoles together onto a single screen in any location. Whether across the street or across the world, the solution brings your systems' consoles to your desktop.

Key features of Itheon's Console Management solution are:
- Consolidation of multiple system consoles saving on heat and power
- Control of all systems from any location minimising staff travel
- Time-stamping and logging all system messages sent to the console port, creating local system logs for audit and compliance purposes
- Identification of important events using advanced text searching algorithms
- Notification to users of events using a wide range of alerting mechanisms
- SSH transport for secure terminal server connections supporting RSA and DSA keys based on OpenSSH standards.
