from $737.95
The ATEN KN1000A Single Port KVM over IP Switch provides access and control over-IP for conventional KVM switches and servers that do not have built-in over-IP functionality. It allows system operators to monitor and access computers from remote locations for down to the BIOS-level troubleshooting, using standard Web browsers or Windows and Java based application programs, without the need to be on site for constant IT maintenance. In addition, the switch supports out-of-band access in case the LAN goes down, with external modem support as backup.
Matching your monitor's resolution and refresh rate capabilities with the KVM is crucial, as many budget switches cap out at 4K 30Hz or 1080p. Ensure it supports the exact number of monitors and computers you need. Available from $737.95.
KVM switches require very little electricity and have no consumables. Ownership costs are effectively zero beyond the initial purchase and required cabling.
