LCD KVM usher in the new darling of the advent of data centers

With the price of LCD monitors continue to decline, as well as the data center to meet the pressing demand for space-saving, LCD KVM appear before us. Although it appears from the name, LCD KVM will display only replaced the LCD, but the real situation is far from being as simple as the evolution of which is much beyond our wildest dreams.


The first is from space, the new generation of LCD KVM seems more like a book, rather than data center management tools, "You can be flat LCD monitor, as close as a book will become a LCD KVM 1U thick book, and then insert the shelves like the same level on his last rack. "who are using the user ATEN KL9116 opponents of this first LCD KVM has commended Canada.


Can "be inserted into the shelves of" thin 1U addition, the dual-slide designOne of the main reasons is that the so-called dual-slide designis in fact fitted with LCD KVM rack server with the sametype slide. As a result, LCD KVM can, moved to a different location, at the same time, in the dual-slide design, LCD with keyboard, mouse, respectivelyindependent, as saying the advertisement said: "want to see will depend on. "operations do not need to, without taking the keyboard, mouse, LCD can be pulled out only to see the status information they need, even if the rack door closed, you can monitor server status at any time, for example network very convenient. This design, in order to provide a standardization of LCD KVM rack installation, it had also strengthened its mobile performance and ease of operation, saving the user the limited investment in equipment. In addition, LCD low power consumption, low heat dissipation, as well as keyboard, mouse integration, so that not only reduced data center cooling and power costs, it is refreshing but also a number of data centers.


Small space, low heat, easy to install, as well as the integration of mobile design, are gradually replaced by LCD KVM so that the original old-fashioned KVM become the favorite choice of managers. We can assume a cabinet of eight data centers, when a user in each cabinet to place a non-LCD KVM, if administrators want to manage cabinet, he has only two ways: First, to each cabinet, left room for CRT displays, and even a space in each display; second is to use a CRT display to move here. We can imagine, the first case, if the room only needs to install a 2U or 3U rack server, then the enterprise is going to buy a cabinet re-do? And the second case, our administrator is not to spend a CRT display run around. If the data center is the key business centers, then the obvious, each cabinet must be placed in a KVM to display real-time data, not only the issue of inadequate space was more prominent, Cabinets enormous waste, and so , CRT displays astonishing power consumption and heat may be a straight line to the data center notice the increase in electricity tariffs. Some people may think the price will be LCD, but it is the old imperial calendar, and now LCD panels have been cheaper for the individual users can afford to buy a LCD widescreen display.
