  2. Agenda • Desktop Switching • USB Switching • Video • Secure Switching • Extension • Server Room • KVM Trays • Open Q & A Company Confidential

  3. KVM Evolution of the Desktop Interface • Progression of the desktop interface • PS/2 + VGA, Mac® and Sun® • USB + VGA • USB + DVI • USB 2.0 + Multi Monitors Advanced USB support is becoming more and more important. Company Confidential

  4. Types of USB Switching Technology Enumerated USB switching is similar to the user unplugging and plugging the cables. Switchover delays can be experienced, and hotkey and mouse switching is not supported. Emulated USB switching is when the KVM switch provides idle keyboard and mouse information to inactive ports—the CPU thinks the device is still attached. True USB Emulation switching is where the KVM switch provides specific USB device information to inactive ports. It enables graphics tablets, jog wheels, pens, etc. to be attached to the switch. 4 Company Confidential

  11. KVM Extension • KVM extension is ideal for bridging the distance gap between PC and the actual workstation. • Extenders are connected with CATx or fiber optic cable between the two locations. • Applications: • Hospitals, schools, manufacturing floors • Anywhere you need to place a PC in a secure or clean environment • Back-racking CPUs Company Confidential

  12. KVM Extension over IP • Instead of using separate cable runs for extension, now you can use your network cabling system and IP. 12 Company Confidential

  13. Server Room Switching • Traditional KVM switches provided control and management for multiple servers yet required the administrator to be local to the switch. • Customers are challenged to do more with less. • Budgets are tight and people are stressed. Evolution in technology makes it easy to permit IP access for your administrators. 13 Company Confidential

  14. Why Remote Access? • Quick ROI—pays for itself typically within four months. Technicians don’t always need to go on-site. • Less travel means lower overtime and expenses, and better quality of life for technical staff. • Quicker response times mean less downtime. • Increased efficiency of the IT department. 14 Company Confidential

  15. Multiple Remote Access Solutions • KVMCube — Single server IP access. • KVMGate — IP gateway for most existing KVM switches. • Multiport multi-user KVMoIP switches. • All allow BIOS-level remote server access over IP networks. Do more with less. 15 Company Confidential
