IT News Online Staff 2006-07-17
ATEN International, a designer, manufacturer and distributor of advanced connectivity solutions, has introduced the new KL1116 Hideaway LCD KVM Switch in India. The KL1116 incorporates a 16-port KVM (keyboard, video and mouse) switch in a Hlideaway console with 17" high-resolution LCD monitor, keyboard and touchpad.
The KL1116, which can be comfortably mounted in less than 1U of rack space, sports a dual-slide design that allows the console to slide back while the LCD panel remains in plain sight, even with the server rack door closed, to monitor and troubleshoot servers. Through daisy chaining of up to 31 additional compatible KVM switches, 512 servers can be controlled.
"Our new KL1116 Hideaway KVM solution provides data center administrators with powerful server access coupled with the convenience of viewing the LCD monitor while the keyboard and touchpad are tucked away neatly in the rack," said Kevin Chen, President of ATEN International. "The KL1116, in addition to its innovative dual-rail system, offers a space-saving and cost-effective KVM solution that is certainly a boon to administrators overwhelmed by cable and hardware clutter."
The KL1116 offers dual console management. In addition to the integrated KVM console, a second PS/2 console can be added easily via the rear ports. This allows two users to manage any server on the KVM installation. The KL1116 is optionally shipped with the "Easy Installation Kit" that enables a single person to install it in an easy and convenient way, and considerably simplifies the rack mounting process.
Features of the KL1116 Hideaway LCD KVM Switch:
- Hideaway housing is less than 1U for smooth operation in rack
- Auto-scan feature for monitoring user-selected computers
- Broadcast support: commands from keyboard can be broadcast to all computers on installation
- Hot Pluggable: add or remove computers without having to power down switch
- Two-level security password security: only authorized users view and control the computers
- DDC Emulation of LCD monitor: VGA settings of connected computers automatically adjust for optimal performance on LCD monitor
