KVM is an abbreviation for Keyboard, Video, and Mouse. A KVM switch is also known as a multi-computer controller. A single KVM switch can control 2, 4, 8, 16, or more computers or servers. Its simple interface is easy to operate, and they can be controlled over network connections regardless of distance globally.

What is the function of a KVM switch?

1. Save space: For these extremely fast-growing industries, the original used is relatively limited, and relocation would cause service downtime. In such cases, reducing the number of keyboards, mice, and monitors can free up a large amount of space for newly servers.

2. Improve efficiency: Imagine that when system or network maintenance personnel shuttle through the jungle of servers and various cabinets to find faulty machines, efficiency will not improve. inefficiency not only wastes limited human resources but also prevents faults from being repaired in a timely manner, causing unnecessary downtime for the network or data center. Being able to log into all machines a console consisting of one set of keyboard, mouse, and monitor will certainly greatly improve the work efficiency of system or network maintenance personnel.

3. Strengthen management: The improvement of efficiency means that the network or data center is effectively managed, thereby improving the stability and security of these systems.

4. Save costs: Network operating costs, especially the operating costs networks and data centers that must run continuously 24 hours a day, are gradually becoming a key factor in the success of network operators. At the same time, hardware and expenses, personnel costs, and facility costs are also major components of a company's operating expenses. For these extremely fast-growing industries, the original space used is relatively limited, and would cause service downtime. In such cases, reducing the number of keyboards, mice, and monitors can free up a large amount of space for newly added servers, while saving a large of costs.
