Redundancy via KVM technology keeps critical systems accessible

The proliferation of computers and IT-based systems in industrial process automation has created a need for advanced and flexible system access to these computers. This digitalization trend creates a significant demand for more data to be managed, monitored, secured and evaluated. In turn, organizations are implementing redundancy approaches through keyboard-video-mouse (KVM) technology to ensure critical systems are available and instantly accessible to any authorized user. KVM refers to the interfaces of a computer. KVM devices help separate computers and their users. Operators instead access, extend, switch or distribute computer signals using dedicated CAT cables, optical fibers or sta
