Taipei -- May 22, 2006. ATEN International, leading designer, manufacturer and distributor of advanced connectivity solutions, today announced that with the theme, "Have Your Server Management TO GO," it will reveal revolutionary remote sever room management solutions and demonstrate cutting-edge KVM products at this year's Computex trade show from June 6th to June 10th (Hall 1 / Booth C518/520/617/619).

ATEN will demonstrate two enterprise solutions, the Over the Net Solution and the Matrix KVM Solution, live on the booth. The Over the NET Solution focuses on the brand new CC1000, Control Center Over the NET, which is a software-based solution for secure and centralized management of multiple data centers, branch offices and remote locations. The CC1000 effectively consolidates the management of all the ALTUSEN Over the NET devices through a single Internet IP address, and protects them with advanced security procedures that regulate user access and control. It incorporates Role-Based Access and Control (RBAC), IP-based Access Control Lists and IP filtering.

Within the Over the NET Solution, is the newly launched KN2116, KVM over the NET, a 16-port KVM switch that supports remote access up to 16 servers and offers up to 64 user accounts. The KN2116 allows three administrators -- one logged in from a local console and two logged in remotely from any IP connected web browser -- to manage and control up to 16 devices that are connected to the KN2116. Each administrator independently controls the KVM via ATEN's embedded Windows or Java, web-based Management Utility. The KN2116 provides three-level security standard and advanced security features, such as password protection and advanced encryption technologies (1024-bit RSA, 56-bit DES, 256-bit AES, 128-bit SSL).

ATEN will demonstrate its Matrix KVM Solution with the new KM0832, 8-Console, 32-Port Matrix KVM Switch. In the ever-expanding corporate IT environment, the KM0832 allows administrators to control more than 8,000 servers when cascading multiple KM0832 units, or in combination with daisy chaining multiple KM0432, the 4-Console, 32-Port Matrix KVM Switches. In combination with KM0832 is the new KA9233, the graphical console module that supports PS/2 and USB administration console. The graphic OSD provides a user-friendly platform for administrators to manage the mass number of server capacity that KM0832 is capable of having.

To complete its Matrix KVM solution, ATEN introduces the Matrix Plus (MP) Series products. For tailored expansion options, these devices allow administrators to add servers to their installations on a one-by-one basis. The MP Series provides complete control and maximum flexibility for USB, PS/2 or SUN systems. The CPU modules can be linked to a master module, and is the perfect solution for limited server room space as it occupies the least amount of rack space.

Apart from its live demo solutions, ATEN also introduces the KL1116, 16-Port Hideaway LCD KVM Switch. This innovative enterprise-class solution features a LCD monitor and keyboard that slide independently in a hideaway housing. The space-saving mechanism is especially useful for administrators who want to monitor servers via the LCD panel, but may not need to work on the console at all times. The hideaway housing can comfortably be mounted in less than 1U rack space. In addition, the KL1116 is designed with a 2nd console connection (through one BUS), and offers administrators the flexibility when managing the connected servers.

Furthermore, ATEN will display the complete desktop solution in its entry-level showcase, including the 2 and 4-port MasterView KVM series, and the Petite KVM series with built-in cables. Besides the wide variety of KVM solutions, ATEN also will have a whole line of video solution on display, of which includes the highly expected HDTV A/V Switch.

About the KVM Switch

KVM (Keyboard, Video and Mouse) switches are control units that allow access to multiple computers from a single console. Before the development of KVM switches, the only way to control multiple computers from a single console was through a complex and costly network. Now, with the KVM switch, people can easily access multiple computers or platforms (from 2 to up to 4096) in a convenient, space saving and cost effective manner.
