The main purpose of a KVM switch is to allow a unified group KVM console to connect to multiple devices. This enables users to access and control computers or servers from the console. Most enterprises require servers to perform background tasks to assist in smooth business operations. The most common types of servers include mail servers, database/file servers web servers, and application servers (SAP, ADP). KVM multi-computer switches are suitable for small to medium-sized enterprises as well as large multinational corporations

A KVM switch allows one or more users to access and control multiple servers, enabling businesses of all sizes to achieve the following advantages:· Reduce costs - By using a KVM switch, there is no longer a need to connect a keyboard, monitor, and mouse to every single server. Therefore, just one or few sets of keyboards, monitors, and mice are sufficient to control and manage many servers. This not only reduces hardware costs but also frees up valuable space, and further lowers the demand power and air conditioning systems.
· Improve business continuity - A KVM switch allows access to a company's servers and other IT equipment in an 'out-of-' manner. The switch itself does not need to rely on the company's backbone or network. Therefore, even if the company network itself fails, IT personnel can still access, control and manage the company's servers. A complete system reboot can even be performed from a remote location using a KVM switch.
· Not limited to hardware platforms and operating systems KVM switch can operate in different server environments. There is no restriction that it must run on hardware or operating systems from a specific manufacturer. The enterprise IT environment using the switch can servers from many different manufacturers, such as HP, IBM, and Sun, and run various operating systems, such as Solaris, Unix, or Windows.
