About KVM

KVM stands for Keyboard, Video, and

Mouse. The main purpose of a KVM switch is to control multiple CPUs from a single console. A console consists of three main components: Keyboard, Video,

Mouse. A KVM solution allows multiple sets of keyboards, monitors and mice to be replaced with a single set of control peripherals. KVM technology provides easy access and control to any connected

CPU.

Avocent’s KVM Technology

Our proven KVM switching solutions are designed for the desktop to the data centre. They are easy to implement, integrate, operate, and expand – saving time and money.

KVM switches are suitable for any application where a user needs to operate several computers at the same time. Accessory

KVM products are available to provide extended cabling distances and console signal conversion. Besides the principle cost and power savings of multiple sets of redundant peripherals, the end user also benefits from increased desktop space, and saves time and the physical effort of moving between several computers at multiple locations.
