The Vertiv Avocent MPU8032DAC is part of the MergePoint Unity digital KVM switch series — designed for enterprise data centres requiring robust, scalable, and centrally managed IP KVM infrastructure. The 32-port model provides access to 32 servers simultaneously from up to 4 digital remote user paths, with dual AC power supplies providing the hardware redundancy required for mission-critical KVM infrastructure.
MergePoint Unity IQ (Interface Module) technology connects servers via standard Cat5/5e/6 cabling to the MPU switch. IQ modules are available for USB+VGA, USB+DVI, and USB+HDMI server connections, ensuring compatibility with current and legacy server generations. Cascading support allows multiple MPU switches to be linked for large-scale deployments managed through a single DSView interface.
Avocent DSView software is the management platform that ties the MPU8032DAC into a comprehensive KVM estate management solution. DSView provides centralised authentication, session management, audit logging, and access policy enforcement across all connected switches and console servers. Integration with LDAP and Active Directory means user accounts and permissions are managed in existing enterprise identity systems rather than duplicated in each appliance.
