The ultimate advantages of using KVM over IP- Buy remotely operated IT products from Beacon

KVM over IP (KVMoIP) technology provides answers to many challenges with its ability to manage and control small to large scale servers as well as improve administrative and IT Management efficiencies easily. The KVMoIP products use advanced security, allowing remote users to control several servers/CPUs simultaneously from anywhere in the world via a LAN, WAN, internet connection, or dial-in access via ISDN or standard 56K modems. KVMoIP continues to add value for many organizations with its military-grade network security. Here are 6 reasons to consider switching to KVM over IP products.

Flexibility

The best thing about KVMoIP is that it provides amazing flexibility to design your network architecture based on your working environments. It gives you the ability to put your computing resources anywhere in the world- without the need to run a cable for a direct connection. This is mainly useful when relocating premises or upgrading the operational base. With a KVMoIP matrix, you can easily add access points or re-route parts of a network using your existing infrastructure. This was perfectly illustrated during the Second World War when the Frankfurt city center was vacated in order to defuse a bomb. There were some companies within those evacuation areas that could not be accessed from outside without the use of IP to re-route their broadcast networks because of the traditional matrixes owned by them.

Scalability

With KVMoIP switches, you can connect to serve almost any number of computers/users. Unlike traditional KVM, which had a ceiling to the number of connected users or computers, it is designed to suit your developing needs so that you can include thousands of users and devices on one unified system. So, grow as your business grows.

Return on Investment

Since the standard IP networking equipment uses your existing network, it costs much cheaper than proprietary equipment. The use of universal protocols means you can effortlessly move files from a mass storage device to a USB flash drive or CD-ROM drive. Such capabilities translate into actual savings for companies while giving them a swift return on investment.

Without distance limitations

The traditional KVM solutions generally have extension distance limitations between users and computers. When this distance limit is exceeded, the quality of the images starts to degrade. Such limitations on distance create numerous problems for many applications, including outside broadcasts such as sporting events or festivals. However, KVM over IP provides a cost-effective solution in places where extension distances are conquered with routing through IP networks, including a combination of copper and/or fiber, as required.

Standard protocols

No matter, whether you are transmitting HD, 4K, USB, DVI, or VGA content, IP offers a standard transport protocol, thereby ensuring maximum capability with existing infrastructure. It simply uses the advanced technology of transmitting at differing data rates, thereby saving the organization's expense on hardware, infrastructure, and personnel costs.

Ease of configuration

With KVMoIP, the configuration becomes easy. This is because the advanced tools provided by IP, such as the DHCP server that is hosted within the network, help automatically set the network IP addresses for you. The controller software handles the network configuration of every individual device, allowing you to set up and expand the system very easily.
