Unlocking Flexibility with Austin Hughes Mini IP Solutions

Unlocking Flexibility with Austin Hughes Mini IP Solutions

At MB Technology, we’re proud to be a UK authorised distributor of Austin Hughes, bringing our IT reseller network access to a wide portfolio of innovative infrastructure products. This quarter we’ve taken a closer look at their PDU and ATS solutions, and in this third and final instalment on MB Hub, we’re turning our focus to their Mini IP Solutions.

Designed for today’s distributed IT environments, Austin Hughes Mini IP products – including the MiniBoot and Mini IP KVM ranges, deliver compact, powerful tools for remote management. For IT resellers, these solutions open up new opportunities to help customers cut costs, improve resilience, and simplify operations.

Why Austin Hughes Mini IP Solutions?

Traditional rackmount equipment has long been the go-to for remote access and power control, but it isn’t always practical in smaller or more diverse environments. Austin Hughes Mini IP solutions are designed with flexibility in mind, offering the same enterprise-class capabilities in a compact form factor.

From SOHO and branch offices, to kiosks, digital signage, education, and manufacturing environments, the Mini IP Solutions make remote access and recovery both accessible and affordable. IT resellers can position these products as a bridge between high-end data centre equipment and lightweight unmanaged devices – filling a key gap in the market.

Austin Hughes MiniBoot: Simple, Secure Remote Power Control

The Austin Hughes MiniBoot series provides reliable remote reboot functionality to keep systems running smoothly. Whether it’s a server, a network device, or a kiosk terminal, IT staff can remotely power cycle equipment without needing to be physically on-site – saving time, manpower, and costs.

Key features include:

  • Automated recovery with IP-Ping, scheduled outlet control, or sensor-based triggers
  • Multiple outlet options (UK, IEC, Schuko, NEMA, French) for global deployments
  • Enterprise-level authentication with AD, LDAP, and RADIUS support
  • Integration with DCIM platforms via SNMP v2/v3

With a full model selector available, IT resellers can help customers choose the right MiniBoot to match their power environment and application.

Austin Hughes Mini IP KVM: Remote Access Without Compromise

The Austin Hughes Mini IP KVM range enables secure over-IP access to PCs and servers – even down to the BIOS level. This means administrators can troubleshoot and manage systems remotely, regardless of whether the operating system is running.

Highlights include:

  • Support for USB-C, HDMI, VGA, or DVI-D inputs
  • 1, 2, or 4-port models for scalability
  • Java-free, HTML-based remote access – no additional drivers or software
  • Strong encryption and granular permissions for enterprise-grade security
  • Cross-platform compatibility with Windows, Linux, and macOS

Compact and hot-pluggable, Austin Hughes Mini IP KVMs are ideal for scenarios where rackmount KVMs are overkill – making them a valuable add-on for IT resellers serving SMEs, remote offices, and non-traditional IT spaces.
