Description
The Black Box ServSwitch Wizard IP DXS is a high-performance KVM over IP gateway engineered for dependable remote server management. It delivers direct KVM over IP (KVMoIP) access, empowering administrators to control servers from any location with low latency and precise keyboard, video, and mouse interaction. Independent operation ensures you maintain full control even during bootup, BIOS initialization, or when the host computer experiences a crash, eliminating the need for on-site visits during critical moments. With USB-based virtual media support, you can perform remote file transfers and software installations as if you were physically connected to the console, streamlining maintenance and deployment workflows. This dual-access gateway is designed for data centers, IT rooms, and distributed environments where uptime and rapid problem resolution are paramount.
- Direct KVM over IP (KVMoIP) access provides real-time remote control of connected servers, delivering responsive input, video, and system management from anywhere on the network.
- Independent operation during bootup, BIOS level, and crash states ensures administrators retain full control even when the operating system is unavailable or failing, enabling faster troubleshooting and recovery.
- USB virtual media support enables remote file transfer, OS deployment, and software updates without requiring physical presence at the server, reducing hands-on maintenance time.
- Dual Access IP Gateway design offers two independent access paths for reliable management or simultaneous control of multiple devices, improving redundancy and operational flexibility.
- Enterprise-grade design combines security, reliability, and ease of integration into existing data center infrastructure, making it suitable for rack-mounted deployments and centralized IT operations.
