Introduction

 

 

 

With the innovative IP-based technology, PLANET has turned the conventional KVM switches into networking devices. The IKVM-1000 captures, digitizes and compresses video signal, then transmits it with keyboard and mouse signals through IP network. Multiple remote sites can monitor the same PC server simulta- neously. With SSL authentication and data encryption, the IKVM-1000 provides a non-intrusive solution for remote access and control. The remote access and control software operates on its embedded processors only, but not on mission- critical servers, so that there is no interference with server operation or decrease on the network performance.
