The KL9108/KL9116 units provide simultaneous access for one local and one remote user via IP to control up to 16 servers and support 32 concurrent users. With the message board feature, logged in users are able to communicate with each other and which allows a remote user to take exclusive control of the KVM functions. Through cascading, users can access up to 128 servers. The units were designed for medium to large server rooms and data centers at business facilities, educational environments and government facilities. These new products' built-in independent IP ports give administrators access to server racks and data centers from off-site locations via a web browser without conflict with local IT users-- eliminating unnecessary travel and associated costs.

The KL9108/KL9116 feature a multi-session visual capability that enables users to monitor up to 8 and 16 servers simultaneously on-screen to gain better visibility into server activities. For users who prefer to operate a mouse rather than the equipped touchpad, the KVM units offer an additional PS2 port to connect the peripheral. The local access port gives users access to the data center while inside the server room using local console. Similar to the KL1116, the KL9108 and KL9116 includes a "Dual-Rail" design that allows the console to slide back while the LCD panel remains in plain sight -- even with the server rack door closed -- to monitor and troubleshoot servers.

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 in a convenient, space saving and cost effective manner.
