KVM switches are a cost effective and space saving alternative
to having one set of keyboard, monitor, and mouse for each
computer.
-
- KVM switches allows you to take command of multiple
computers from one set of keyboard, monitor, mouse. New
generation of KVM Switch can do more than just peripheral
sharing, it let you remote control and manage multiple servers over the Internet. This means
not only you save time and space, but also you can now reduce
downtime and cable clutter.
-
- KVM Over IP
products are a new breed of non-intrusive hardware based
solutions which allow you access to all the servers connected to
your KVM switch.
-
- Utilizing
advanced security and regardless of operating system, KVM Over
IP technology allows you to remotely control all your
servers/CPU’s – including pre-boot functions such as editing
CMOS settings and power cycling your servers. It allows you
access via your internal LAN/WAN, and connectivity via the
Internet or dial in access via ISDN or standard 56K modems
KVM Over IP is not just just a KVM Switch. It is a remote management tool that can greatly
reduce your cost and downtime.
Adding IP Remote Access Device to
your existing KVM Switch is easy and inexpensive. Suddenly, you
can remotely access any server behind the KVM Switch, down to
the BIOS level.
There is no need to make a trip to the computer
room just to reboot the server or network router, whether you are
somewhere in the same office building, at home, or on a trip far
away.

Not all KVM Switches are
equal. Some KVM Switches cost more than other,
because they provide more functions and options such as multi-platform
support, On Screen Display, password protection, audio support,
port emulation, come with power supply (at least optional)
management capability, and even USB sharing.
Depending on your
requirement, many times a cheap KVM Switch will work just fine
for desktop PC or just a couple of servers. When it come to server room, it is better to
spend a little more for reliable KVM Switch from reputable
manufacturers with good support and local service centre.
