Single User KVM switches could handle dozens of Servers with a single monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
The best of these products have intelligent on-screen firmware, are software independent, and allow you to connect multi-platform CPUs - such as IBM PC and Compatible, Apple Macintosh, Sun, Silicon Graphics, IBM RS/6000, DEC Alpha, HP 9000. Single user KVM Switches are widely used today and can be found in almost every data center. In addition to improving server manageability, heat disbursement issues, and the space savings, there was a huge cost savings from not having to purchase a separate monitor, keyboard and mouse for each CPU. The first switching units were very basic A/B type push button switches, grew to hot-key controllable switches, and later added OSD's (On Screen Displays).Īddressing some of these issues, these KVM switching products allow a single user to access multiple CPUs from a single monitor, keyboard, and mouse. As both graphical environments and mice were not common in the early 1980's, the 1st switches only supported keyboard & video switching. Actually the very 1st switches would more approximately be called KV switches. Who created the 1st KVM switch (Keyboard Video Mouse Switch) is disputed. They also created server management problems for larger data centers in which technicians had to physically walk to each server they needed to work on. In the early 1980's as the computer industry grew, many server rooms and data centers were faced with the problem of having dozens and even hundreds of monitors, keyboards, and mice, taking up valuable rack space, and adding unnecessary heat disbursement issues. The OEM & ODM services we provided have been recognized by hundreds of brands and companies including Global Top 500 corporations, medium and small businesses, factory and industrial operations, military and government installations and home offices.Īs an ISO9001:2015 and ISO14001:2015 registered company, Kinan only sourcing materials from vendors that are compliant to international standards as well as environment friendly standards, which determines our high level of quality assurance.Brief history of KVM Switch Server Management Industry We listen carefully to our customers and work with them to ensure they receive the best products and service to fulfill their technology needs on the basis of mutual-benefits and win-win.
