Understanding KVM Switches
KVM switches are devices that allow users to control multiple computers from a single keyboard, video display, and mouse. The acronym “KVM” stands for Keyboard, Video, and Mouse. KVM switches are commonly used in data centers, server rooms, and other IT environments where multiple computers need to be managed.
KVM switches come in various forms, including desktop, rack-mountable, and IP-based. Desktop KVM switches are usually designed for use with a small number of computers and are ideal for use in a home office or small business. Rack-mountable KVM switches are designed to be mounted in a server rack and are capable of managing multiple servers. IP-based KVM switches allow remote access to servers and other devices, allowing for remote management and troubleshooting.
