Black Box KV9008A KVM Switch for PS/2 Servers and Consoles, 8-Port

Black Box KV9008A 8-Port KVM Switch for Servers and Consoles

This operating system-independent KV9008A switch gives you a practical way to manage multiple PS/2 servers and consoles without wasting valuable workspace. Plus, it's cascadable, so you can expand your system as your demands change. The ServSwitch EC KVM Switch for PS/2 Servers and Consoles is the perfect and practical way to manage multiple PS/2 servers and consoles where usable space is at a premium. If you set up this unit in a cascade configuration, you can rapidly expand and contract system capabilities as your demands change. Cascade up to 64 servers with this 8-port model. Best of all, this ServSwitch KVM Switch is plug-and-play, so you can add or subtract servers almost as quickly as you can plug and unplug cables.

A simple yet well-designed on-screen display makes the KV9008A very easy to use. You can choose names for each server that make sense to you and for your application. Then, you can identify and select each server with those same naming conventions. You can monitor the status of each server and use the programmable auto-scan function to select your servers sequentially. And you don't waste time - the auto-scan feature filters unused servers from the list automatically so you don't have to deal with unnecessary information. System settings and name entries are stored in non-volatile memory so you don't have to worry about a sudden power surge or shutdown wiping out your information. The KV9008A KVM Switch also saves your keyboard settings for each server and restores them when you come back to that particular machine.

This switch provides tangible results when it comes to network management. You save space by eliminating the need for monitors, keyboards, and mice for each server you have. Likewise, you lose the significant costs associated with those kinds of redundant purchases. Most importantly, you increase control and efficiency by centralizing the management of multiple servers with the same or different platforms - and with network management, that's the real bottom line.
