Why KVM over IP?

In addition to the unlimited distances offered by a networked solution, utilizing over IP technology for video,
audio, and control data distribution and extension offers boundless flexibility and scalability for centralized or
distributed network operation.

Advantages include the fact that controllers can configure connectivity architecture and the overall size of the
KVM installation based on specific requirements, and systems can be designed to accommodate large distances,
unlimited users, any-input-to-any-user configurations, high performance and varying levels of system redundancy
and resilience.

So, the major benefit of IP-based KVM in the control room is limitless scalability and flexibility. An IP-based KVM
system also provides more extension options beyond traditional keyboard-monitor-mouse, including server
sharing, video extension, and multicasting.

For these reasons, IP-based control units mean you can upgrade your IP management efficiency at the same time
as increasing productivity and reducing operational costs.
