Dell KVM Server Console switches by Vertiv are ideally suited for environments where remote access is not required but maximum security is essential.The Analog Server Console switch is an excellent choice where real-time video and mouse response are required. Its responsiveness is not impacted by the need to digitize and transmit video frames, mouse and keystroke events. For high resolution requirements of a Network Operation Center, the Server Console switches can support resolutions of up to 1600×1200 and widescreen resolutions of up to 1680×1050.
Dell analog KVM server consoles provides flexibility to customers who may want to implement remote access in the future, but who are not ready to make that commitment at the time of purchase. The digital capabilities of the Server Console switch are ‘unlocked’ by plugging the Remote Access Key into any one of the USB ports of the rear of the switch. With the Remote Access Key installed, one authenticated digital user can remotely manage any one of the servers connected to the Server Console switch over a TCP/IP network with support for DES, 3DES, AES or 128-bit SSL encryption of both KVM and Virtual Media sessions over a single IP address. With the Remote Access Key, the look-and-feel of the On-Board Web Interface (OBWI) matches the sophistication of the OBWI found on the Dell Remote Console switches. The user is able to manage remote operating system installations, operating system recoveries, BIOS updates or server backups from any location with Internet access. The OBWI is launched directly from the Server Console switch and does not require a software host.
Support for currently shipping Dell KVM and KMM products is provided by Vertiv. 3 years of Vertiv Basic Service, including Advanced Replacement, is included with your purchase. More information on support and service options.
