GCM16 and GCM32 Global Console Managers
Product Guide
The Global 2X2X16 Console Manager (GCM16) and Global 4X2X32 Console Manager (GCM32) are the
next generation digital keyboard-video-mouse (KVM) console managers that provide KVM-over-IP and
serial console management technology in a single appliance. Either console lets you access and manage
all servers remotely, even to the system BIOS, using your existing IP infrastructure.
The GCM16 has 16 target ports and supports up to 2 local users and 2 remote users, and the GCM32 has
32 target ports and supports up to 2 local users and 4 remote users. Figure 1 shows these two models.

Did you know?
The GCM16 and GCM32 Global Console Managers provide enhanced remote management, access, and
security capabilities with out-of-band access to servers, network equipment, and other devices with serial
configuration or console ports all from a single appliance. This unified approach improves staff efficiency
by reducing the time required to remotely diagnose, reconfigure, repair, or restore servers as well as
network devices and other hardware with serial configuration or management consoles, or both.
The serial capabilities of these appliances enable connecting and managing nearly any device with a serial
port directly from the console manager, including switches, routers, and PDUs. SSH and Telnet
connections are supported.
