48-Port Console Server for Data Centres

The Emerson Network Power ACS 8048 is a new device server built for secure, remote out-of-band management of IT assets. It targets IT professionals and network operations centre personnel who need reliable console access to 48 serial devices from anywhere in the world. A dual-core ARM processor with 1 GB DDR3 SDRAM runs an updated Linux OS and DSView management software for optimal performance.

Dual Gigabit Uplinks and Mixed Media Support

The unit fits into a rack environment and provides two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces: one 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 port and one 1000Base-X fibre port for redundant network paths. USB ports allow connection of external storage or a modem for cellular failover. Twisted-pair and optical fibre media support gives flexibility for existing cabling infrastructure without requiring wireless LAN capability.

Replaces Legacy Single-LAN Console Servers

This model upgrades installations that rely on a single copper management link or lack fibre redundancy. The jump is worth it when remote sites demand gigabit-speed console sessions, sensor monitoring, or DSView centralised control across 48 ports. It is not for buyers who need only a handful of serial ports or who require integrated wireless connectivity.
