Computer Analysis of KVM switch

When multi-computer KVM switch more universal application, the user demands of the diverse and increasingly complex, KVM manufacturers continue to develop more innovative intelligent features, the information management personnel, the effective function of the acquisition of new trends to assess the business demand is very important. Note the following new models currently on the market the most advanced product features and functions to provide the system administrator in the procurement of products in the above order of reference.

Interface Connection: Many indoor KVM systems are through the special cable and PS / 2 interface connected, but the keyboard and mouse is a USB interface port can only connect with a USB keyboard and mouse interface, so manufacturers in particular the introduction of KVM the "PS / 2 to USB" adapter to adapter head. But there are only a mouse and keyboard to provide a single USB interface (for example, a number of Logitech models), then the problem occurs. To this end, the current manufacturers are actively engaged in R & D KVM support the latest new models CAT5 specifications.

Hotkey switch: as long as it is in the order of more than KVM, there hotkey (Hot Key) and OSD (On Screen Display) to switch the server in two ways, in other words, the function of KVM, keyboard, through a combination of special keys to switch and control, the emphasis on efficiency and speed of operation of the system administrator, it is very convenient and reliable design.

Intelligent processor: in the above bands are using high-performance KVM microprocessor emulator to manage each KVM port; KVM connection so that all computer can boot at the same time, and to provide automatic scanning, detection and other functions, making KVM is very easy to use and management. In addition, KVM microprocessor intelligent computer can be recorded for each of the CAPSLOCK key, NUM LOCK key, SCROLL LOCK key's use, and has hot-swappable (hot pluggable) function.

Control software: Some models provide sophisticated control software, in order to monitor system hardware and sensors (such as temperature, voltage, fans, etc.), control system components (such as power, blade server, etc.), records of important system events (such as open chassis, the system re-boot, etc.), administrators can remotely manage and respond to system failures.

More synchronous control: In the face of the continued expansion of business demand for rooms, many new KVM can be a different number of computer equipment and managers to provide flexible solutions to more than the effectiveness of control.

Power Management: Power Management KVM will also become the focus of product development. The use of power management features, the system administrator to shut down the system remotely executable, or for any computer or server reboot in order to improve the speed of system maintenance and efficiency. Management staff can remote control the engine room of the computer or server, and stay at home depends on effective power management devices.
