KVM switch (referred to as KVM), is what we usually refer to the KVM switch, it is the Keyboard (keyboard), Video ( .monitor) and Mouse (mouse) three words the first letter. .With it, users can only use one keyboard, monitor and mouse to control multiple computers, the operation becomes complicated simple. .How, it is amazing, right? .Let us work together to understand KVM it. .

typical KVM applications

KVM technology has been developed from the initial concept of enterprise IT .infrastructure management systems. .Users can kvm client management software, such as direct access to a single interface servers in multiple remote locations and devices. .The KVM over IP solutions, now has a perfect multi-site failover, the new server management standard (IPMI), a direct interface, and to map local storage media to the remote location of the function. .

KVM Category:

by the network environment can be divided into: based on IP (KVM O IP) .and non-IP;

environment by equipment can be divided into: mechanical and electronic (manual and automatic);

according to the working mode .divided into: analog KVM and digital KVM;

Analog KVM technology

analog KVM switching system directly .connection on any computer keyboard, video and mouse. .It provides a completely independent network operating system software and a simple plug and play installation of the system and make users to access multiple computers in real time. .Analog KVM system optimized for the user and the environment at the same location, is access to centralized multi-PC and multi-rack environments the ideal technology. .

KVM over IP

KVM over IP keyboard, video and mouse data is digital, and use .KVM IP technology mobile data. .KVM over IP directly connected to the KVM signals on any computer, without intrusion into computer without the need for software / hardware. .The technology takes advantage of existing network infrastructure to support local and remote users. .KVM over IP in a different hardware environment, is to manage multi-site data centers and branch offices of the ideal technology. .

high, medium and low-end KVM

.From the application point of view, low-end KVM port is relatively small, can control the number of hosts, only a few, for SOHO and small networks. .General price is relatively cheap, only a few hundred dollars. .

the end KVM switches are widely used in small and medium networks, they generally have 8-16 ports, can be more .Good to meet application needs, and different operating systems can switch between platforms. .

has more than 32 ports of KVM is a high-end KVM, while most of the IP address for host-based network management, .high density, high port count and multi-user operation, and consequently are generally used in large networks. . .
