What types of KVM switches are available?
There are several types of KVM switches designed for various needs. For point-to-point access to a single computer, KVM Extension is suitable. If you have a few computers nearby, a Desktop Switch may work best. For government or military applications requiring access to systems at different classification levels, a Secure Desktop Switch is recommended. For smaller server rooms, consider a KVM Matrix Switch. KVM-over-IP Switches offer flexible access for multiple users and can scale to thousands of computers.
How do I choose the right KVM switch?
When choosing a KVM switch, consider the number of users and computers, the distance between them, the type of cabling or network connection, and any specific requirements like 4K video support or security for classified information. These factors will help you identify the most suitable KVM switch for your application.
KVM-over-IP switches provide IP-based remote access to computers, allowing users to connect from various locations. They support a range of configurations, from 1 user with 8 ports to 8 users with 64 ports. This flexibility makes them ideal for small labs to large enterprise data centers, enabling unlimited distances via LAN, WAN, or the Internet.
