Other two factors promote growing popularity of the KVM

With the expansion of data centers, in order to be able to adapt all of the keyboard, monitor and mouse, the power and space demand increases. Of course, the data center itself is not important each factor, but these factors will be multiplied by the dozens or even hundreds of systems, built up on the considerable consumption, especially for space requirements. In addition KVM cables can cut costs and solve management problem because of the cable .

Market research firm Venture Development Corp. (VDC) group of global asset manager Chris Lanfear is preparing a report on the KVM market, he said: "KVM initial problem to be solved is that the data center if you have 500 servers, then you may have 500 keyboard, 500 display and the mouse 500. KVM is now using the technology that you no longer need a dedicated space. so many of the keyboard, monitor and mouse will also distribute a number of calories, but you do not need to use KVM installation of air-conditioning too much, so less than the number of electricity. "

KVM Internet is to promote technological development of another important driving force. Over the past 10 years combined with the IP remote KVM operation to bring a new lease on life. A San Francisco-based company can operate the data center in Singapore, you can manage from anywhere "lights out" (ie no duty) data center. IP-based KVM (KVM over IP) not only has more capacity to deal with outstanding issues, but also to provide a higher level of monitoring and preventive maintenance functions.

Flexible application of KVM technology enables IT departments to create greater efficiency. Imagine a company in the distant branches in different places (such as banks, hotels or car parts store, etc.) There are several servers. Apparently it was unlikely to be trained or those who have time to deal with IT issues. Traditional approach is to send an IT technical staff over the past or an expert employed at the local, or branch of technology forced most of the people by telephone in accordance with instructions to solve the problem. Of course, these options are far from satisfactory, and KVM solutions for the IT technical staff can feel like dealing with problems.
