High / medium / low-level computer models KVM switch

Consider the function and the number of ports, KVM can be divided into low-, mid-range, high-end three different levels.

Low-end KVM: such a simple KVM with 2-4 ports, at least in control of two computers and share the same peripheral devices (such as USB printers, scanners) for individual, SOHO group applications, compact size, low cost, small economic size of the computer management tool for users.

In order KVM: in-order port KVM approximately 8 to 16 ports for less than the number of employees of 100 small and medium-sized businesses (SMB) use, in addition to the increase in the number of computer manipulation, but also across different operating systems platform (eg PC, Mac, Sun, and Linux). KVM in order to buy in, the need to pay attention to scalability and compatibility of its design, so as the company's business growth and the engine room equipment to increase capacity expansion can be carried out, and the protection of existing investment in equipment and management to achieve the best efficiency of .

High-end KVM: 32-port models are more high-end switches are, this type of system has a high-density, high port number and multi-user operating characteristics at the same time, can control thousands of hosts and servers for large enterprises and IDC data Center use. Most high-end KVM would be able to support a number of managers, they can by means of password authentication to log in and control at the same time, and to provide more complex and sophisticated functions.
