Why do I need a KVM in addition to iDRAC that is included with my server?
Service processors like iDRAC provide limited KVM performance, allowing the IT managers to monitor their servers and perform routine maintenance. Users requiring high performance connection to their servers would need true KVM technology.
KVMs are not on the network with the server so they are accessible even when the network goes down. This out-of-band connection makes KVMs the most reliable method to manage and control servers in the data center.
KVMs and KMMs provide local access in the data center. Using KVM and iDRAC technology together gives customers the ultimate accessibility for managing their data center both in-band and out-of-band.
