The ATEN KN4124V 24-Port KVM over IP Switch allows one local and four remote users operators to monitor and access their entire data center over the network using a web-based browser. In addition, it offers out-of-band access with external modem support for BIOS-level troubleshooting when the network is down.
To help you manage and control an entire data center, KVM over IP switches support blade servers and chassis. KVM ports can be associated with ATEN PDU power outlets for power management of servers from the KVM over IP switches user interface. KVM over IP switches now support the new Control Center Video Session Recorder (CCVSR) software. The CCVSR records all operations made on servers accessed through KVM over IP switches. Every operation and change from the BIOS level to logging in, from running software applications to configuring the operating system, is recorded and saved to a secure video file, without exception. The enhanced capabilities of KVM over IP switches also include a message board, Panel Array Mode, Mouse DynaSync, and Adapter ID. With dual on-board NICs, the KVM over IP switches are built for reliability, to ensure 24/7 availability of remote access to all server room computers. Should one IP become unavailable, another will take over in order to keep the system functioning normally. With Aten KVM over IP switches, IT administrators can manage their server rooms and data centers from practically anywhere - minimizing travel costs and MTTR (Mean Time to Repair) - ensuring data center services availability.Hardware
