Vertiv Cybex Secure MultiViewer KVM Switch — 16-Port NIAP Approved Dual-AC

The Vertiv Cybex Secure MultiViewer KVM Switch is engineered for professionals who demand uncompromising security, reliability, and efficiency when managing multiple computers in high-security environments. This 16-port KVM switch consolidates control of up to 16 servers, workstations, or security devices from a single console, enabling administrators to monitor, access, and manage complex IT infrastructures without compromising isolation or data integrity. Built for environments where security standards are paramount, the Cybex Secure MultiViewer brings together robust hardware design, validated security features, and seamless operational workflow to reduce risk, minimize downtime, and accelerate incident response.

• Secure, scalable control of up to 16 hosts: Manage a broad fleet of servers, desktops, or specialized workstations from one centralized KVM console. The 16-port approach minimizes hardware clutter, simplifies firmware updates, and streamlines maintenance windows while preserving strict boundary controls between hosts.
• NIAP-approved security for mission-critical environments: This Cybex model carries NIAP certification, ensuring that the product adheres to rigorous security criteria used by government agencies, defense contractors, and regulated industries. Administrators gain confidence that access, data paths, and peripheral handling meet recognized standards for trusted computing environments.
• MultiViewer capability for rapid situational awareness: The integrated MultiViewer feature enables simultaneous visibility into multiple hosts from a single display, allowing swift cross-host verification, incident triage, and asset verification without repeatedly switching between machines—ideal for SOCs, data centers, and operation centers.
• High-availability with dual AC power: Designed for 24/7 operations, the dual-AC power supply configuration provides redundancy to maximize uptime, reduce single-point failures, and maintain secure operations during power fluctuations or maintenance cycles.
• Rugged, enterprise-grade design with flexible deployment: Built to withstand demanding environments, the Cybex Secure MultiViewer supports secure mounting, cable management, and reliable performance across long service lifetimes. It integrates smoothly into existing security architectures and cabinet layouts.

How to install Vertiv Cybex Secure MultiViewer KVM Switch

• Prepare the deployment area by ensuring a clean, secure rack or workstation where the KVM switch will reside, with access to each target host and a workstation or console for administration.
• Power down all target systems and the KVM unit before starting installation to avoid electrical or hardware conflicts during port wiring and configuration.
• Connect each of the 16 host computers to the corresponding KVM input ports using the appropriate video and USB cables. Ensure video paths and USB connectors are firmly seated to prevent intermittent connections during operation.
• Connect the management console (keyboard, mouse, and monitor) to the dedicated console ports on the KVM switch. Use stable cables and organize cabling to maintain a clean security perimeter and minimize EMI exposure.
• Attach a dual power supply if using the dual-AC configuration. Ensure both power sources are connected to separate circuits or power rails to maximize uptime and comply with internal redundancy policies.
• Power on the KVM switch first, followed by the connected hosts. Access the on-device management interface to verify host visibility, enable MultiViewer, and configure user access levels, authentication methods, and any required security policies.
• Test switching between hosts both manually and via any hotkey or keyboard sequence supported by the unit. Validate that each host responds correctly to keyboard and mouse input and that per-host isolation remains intact.
• Document the setup, including port assignments, user roles, and security configurations. Maintain a change log for audits and future maintenance.
