What is a KVM Switch?
|
A KVM switch (with KVM being an abbreviation for Keyboard, Video, Mouse) is a hardware device that allows a user to control multiple computers from a single keyboard, video monitor and mouse. It is short for keyboard, video, mouse switch, a hardware item that enables a single keyboard, video monitor and mouse to control more than one computer one at a time.
Although multiple computers are connected to the KVM, typically a smaller number of computers can be controlled at any given time. Modern devices have also added the ability to share USB devices and speakers with multiple computers. KVM switches are popular among users who have upgraded their home PC systems and want to still use their old computers but do not want to invest in a second keyboard, monitor and mouse. KVM switches are used by business enterprises to save money when one person uses more than one computer and in server farms where it is only necessary to periodically access each separate server in the farm one at a time.
The KVM Switches also have many advantages. They work by switching the control from one computer to another, allowing user and companies to save money on multiple monitors. Therefore they significantly reduce the amount of equipment you need to control multiple computers and provide you with significant savings, streamlining operations and simplifying control. KVM switches typically save on energy use as well, since only one monitor is powered up at a time. So they allow multiple users to simultaneously access different hardware connected to the same system, greatly improving administrative flexibility, efficiency, and productivity. The benefit of this is that it only requires one keyboard, one pointing device, and, of course, one monitor. Besides the obvious benefits of reducing costs and taking less physical space, switching also reduces costs not normally considered, such as reduced energy usage.
KVM switches come in a wide variety of designs. Some KVM switches simply allow switching between two computers. Others allow over one hundred - typically used for managing servers or other large banks of computers from one central location.
KVM switches also come in a variety of styles, from small and sleek to simply designed boxes that are just about functionality. Many KVM switch manufacturers now also offer USB versions, making them easier to install and setup. KVM switches that offer both PS2 and USB interfaces in the same switch box, offer a good alternative to mixed interface computer environments.
In today's networked world, KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) systems are an essential part of any IT infrastructure, giving administrators secure, BIOS level access and control of mission critical computers, servers, network, and power devices - from within the organization, or wherever they are in the world.
