• Dual HDMI KVM over IP for versatile access: Manage two separate servers or workstations from a single console. The dual HDMI KVM over IP functionality lets you switch between hosts quickly, deliver crisp, high-quality video, and execute keyboard and mouse control across both systems. This setup is ideal for administrators who need to monitor multiple servers, troubleshoot issues, or perform routine maintenance without moving between racks or rooms. By consolidating control, you reduce clutter, streamline workflows, and improve response times during critical incidents.
• Integrated console station for space-saving, turnkey operation: The console station integrates a full-featured console into a compact, rack-mountable unit, designed to fit neatly into data center racks. This eliminates the need for separate keyboard, video, and mouse peripherals for each host and provides a centralized, ergonomic interface. The all-in-one design supports efficient installation and straightforward ongoing maintenance, making it an excellent choice for colo facilities, server rooms, and environments with limited desk space.
• IP-based remote management with secure access: With KVM over IP, administrators can securely reach and control target devices over the network, enabling out-of-band management, troubleshooting, and maintenance from anywhere with network access. The system supports network-based access controls, session logging, and centralized management workflows, helping IT teams enforce security policies while maintaining meticulous records of who accessed what and when. This remote capability minimizes on-site visits, reduces downtime, and accelerates incident response times.
• Broad compatibility and flexible deployment options: The Dual HDMI KVM over IP Console Station is designed to work across diverse environments, supporting multiple operating systems and virtualization platforms. Whether you’re running Windows, Linux, macOS, or a mix of hypervisors, you can manage your hosts through a common interface. The device supports USB peripheral sharing, making it easy to use common input devices and USB devices across hosts without reconnecting cables. This compatibility is especially valuable in heterogeneous data centers and development labs where diverse workloads require cohesive control mechanisms.
• Built to last with reliability, security, and compliance: Engineered for continuous operation in mission-critical settings, this ATEN solution emphasizes reliability, security, and regulatory compliance. The TAA compliance ensures procurement suitability for government and contractor environments, while enterprise-grade build quality helps ensure long lifecycles in demanding deployments.
