KVM Overview
What is a KVM switch?
KVM stands for keyboard/video/mouse (otherwise known as
peripherals). A KVM switch is a hardware device that allows you
to control multiple computers from a single set of peripherals.
A KVM switch is useful wherever there are multiple computers,
but there is no need for a dedicated keyboard, monitor and mouse
for each one. KVM switches are frequently used where multiple
servers are placed in a single rack with a single keyboard,
monitor and mouse.
The application of using a KVM switch:
Large amount of servers to manage and control.
Cost-sensitive solution (limited IT personnel but with a large
amount of servers).
KVM Overview
Analog KVM switch
An analog KVM switch provides its user with a
local connection to all supported devices. You have
access to supported devices only when you are on-
site. Analog KVM switches can be considered as a
“basic version” of KVM switches.
A digital KVM switch provides its user with a
remote access via IP (i.e., web browser). You can
access all connected devices from anywhere in the
world at any time.
