Description
Black Box KVM Manager with Unlimited Device License
Boxilla is a KVM system management platform designed to scale from small installations to expansive enterprise environments that span thousands of endpoints. It provides a centralized, easy-to-use command center for full monitoring, control, and orchestration of your entire KVM infrastructure—without requiring you to leave your chair. From discovery and provisioning to real-time monitoring and automated remediation, Boxilla brings order to complex data centers, remote sites, and multi-location deployments. With the Unlimited Device License, your organization can grow without licensing friction, ensuring your KVM ecosystem remains responsive, compliant, and streamlined as it expands.
- Unified control across all endpoints. Manage thousands of KVM devices, servers, consoles, and peripheral endpoints from a single, intuitive dashboard. This centralized view minimizes context switching, accelerates incident response, and provides a consistent operational experience across data centers, campuses, and remote sites. With a single pane of glass, IT teams can apply configuration changes, schedule maintenance, and enforce standardized settings across the entire fleet, reducing drift and ensuring policy compliance.
- Real-time visibility, telemetry, and proactive alerts. Boxilla continuously collects performance data, health metrics, and event streams from every connected device. Advanced dashboards deliver actionable insights, while threshold-based alerts and escalations keep operators informed before issues impact users. Troubleshooting becomes faster with consolidated logs, device status, and historical trends available in one place, enabling teams to pinpoint root causes and accelerate mean time to repair.
- Enterprise-scale licensing with Unlimited Device License. Scale without licensing bottlenecks. The Unlimited Device License removes cap constraints, allowing rapid onboarding of new endpoints and devices as your network footprint grows. This licensing approach simplifies procurement, reduces admin overhead, and supports multi-site expansion—from a handful of rooms to global footprints—while preserving centralized control, governance, and standardized configurations.
- Security, governance, and compliance at scale. Boxilla is built with enterprise-grade security in mind. Role-based access control (RBAC), audit trails, and centralized policy enforcement help you meet security and regulatory requirements. Every action is tracked, enabling traceability for compliance reporting and incident investigations. The platform’s secure communications and centralized authentication mechanisms help you maintain a strong security posture across the KVM ecosystem.
- Automation, orchestration, and seamless IT workflow integration. Automate routine tasks, firmware updates, device configurations, and maintenance windows with built-in scripting capabilities and APIs. Boxilla enables orchestration across thousands of endpoints, integrating with your existing ITSM tools, change management processes, and deployment pipelines. This reduces manual toil, accelerates standardization, and ensures consistent outcomes across both on-premises and remote environments.

How to install Black Box KVM Manager
Installing Boxilla begins with careful planning and alignment with your organization’s data-center strategy. Start by reviewing your environment’s prerequisites, including network topology, security requirements, and accounting for all sites that will connect to Boxilla. Decide whether you will deploy Boxilla as a on-premises server, a virtual appliance, or a software-as-a-service (SaaS) managed instance, depending on your security policies, latency considerations, and disaster recovery plans. Once the deployment option is chosen, proceed with provisioning the management plane, authenticating administrators, and configuring baseline governance to ensure consistent behavior from day one.
Integrating your KVM devices is the next step. Discovery and onboarding workflows connect compatible KVM switches, consoles, and endpoints to the Boxilla management plane. As devices are discovered, you can apply baseline configurations, set access permissions, and assign devices to appropriate groups or sites. This initial hardening phase reduces configuration drift and simplifies ongoing operations across heterogeneous environments.
With the management plane in place, configure monitoring, alerts, and automation. Establish health checks for critical paths, such as device connectivity, power status, video and peripheral accessibility, and metadata accuracy. Create alerting rules that reflect your organization’s severity thresholds and escalation paths, ensuring that on-call teams are notified promptly. Leverage Boxilla’s automation capabilities to standardize firmware updates, policy enforcement, and routine maintenance windows, so repeated tasks are executed consistently across all endpoints.
Security hardening is an essential part of the installation process. Enforce TLS or other encryption for all management traffic, integrate with your identity provider for centralized authentication, and enable periodic access audits. Documenting change history and maintaining an up-to-date asset inventory are best practices that complement the core features of Boxilla, helping you maintain a resilient and auditable KVM environment.
Post-installation, you’ll want to validate end-to-end workflows. Verify that you can remotely access consoles, perform device reboots or configuration changes, and execute scripted actions across multiple endpoints. Test-site failover and backup procedures to confirm your disaster recovery strategy remains effective. Finally, train administrators and operators on the console’s navigation, RBAC assignments, and common hot paths so your team can respond efficiently to incidents and requests.
