There are several types of KVM switches designed for various applications. If you need point-to-point access to a single computer, consider a KVM Extension. For a few computers in close proximity, a Desktop Switch may be suitable. Government or military personnel requiring access to systems at different classification levels should look into a Secure Desktop Switch. For smaller server rooms, a KVM Matrix Switch is a good option. KVM-over-IP Switches offer flexible access for multiple users and can scale to thousands of computers.
User and Computer Distances
The distance between users and computers is a crucial factor in selecting a KVM switch. For example, KVM Extensions can provide access up to 500 feet, while KVM-over-IP solutions allow for unlimited distances via LAN, WAN, or the Internet. If your setup involves a small lab or server room, options like the Cat5 Matrix Switch support distances of up to 1000 feet, making it essential to consider your specific distance requirements.
When selecting a KVM switch, consider any special needs such as support for 4K video, high performance, or security for classified information. High Performance KVM switches are designed for applications requiring high-resolution video, while Secure Desktop KVMs are tailored for government and military use, ensuring compliance with security standards. Identifying these requirements early can help streamline your selection process.
