In summary, Tripp Lite’s KVM ("Keyboard-Video-Mouse") switches allow users to control multiple computers or servers using a single console. KVM switches save users significant money, time and space. It reduces the amount of consoles required to control multiple computers such as hardware/electricity/HVAC costs. Tripp Lite provides a wide assortment of KVM switches for every application. Network KVM switches are designed for large, distributed, multi-server rack installations. Network KVM switches (with Consoles) are designed for more concentrated rack server installations. Desktop KVM switches are designed for smaller installations that place a premium on economical price and compact size. All models in all categories provide local or remote (IP) management options (either built into the KVM or available as a separate accessory from Tripp Lite). The Console side includes the keyboard/monitor/mouse console used to control the KVM switch and connected servers. The installation is typical, one user with one console controls one KVM switch. However, the Console side can get more complex, depending on the KVM switch model and the preference of the user. Select models allow up to five users with five separate consoles to control a single KVM switch. The Server side includes the servers that the user controls through the KVM switch. Select KVM switches allow users to connect multiple KVMs together to increase the amount of servers controlled. KVM accessories include all-in-one cable kits, rack-mountable consoles, IP remote modules and console extenders.
