ATEN Data Center Management Solution Helps TV Company Effectively Save on IT Costs and Boost Overall Performance

YangZhou Broadcasting Television Network CO., Ltd. (YZBTN) faced the challenge of managing its rapidly expanding data center infrastructure. The customer needed to reduce IT costs, save valuable rack space, and improve management efficiency, all while ensuring remote and out-of-band control capabilities for continuous service operation. To address this, they turned to vendor ATEN for a KVM-based solution.

ATEN implemented a combined solution of digital and analog KVM switches, including the KN4132 and CS1700 series, alongside the KL1100 LCD console and CC2000 centralized management software. This provided YZBTN with effective remote and centralized control over their servers. The results were significant: ATEN's solution saved 5% in total IT costs, reduced administrator travel time by 50%, and decreased the server room's physical footprint by nearly 20% through smarter cabling and space-efficient hardware.
