ATEN KN2116A 16-Port KVM over IP Switch

by | Mar 28, 2014 | Desktop KVM Switches

ATEN KN2116A-1

Aten´s new generation of KVM over IP switches – KN series allows local and remote operators the ability to monitor and access their entire data center over the network using a web-based browser. In addition, they offer out-of-band access with external modem support for BIOS-level troubleshooting when the network is down. To help you manage and control an entire data center, our KVM over IP switches support blade servers and chassis. With powerful new features such as Power Association – KVM ports can be associated with ATEN PDU power outlets for power management of servers from the KVM over IP switches user interface.

KVM over IP switches now support the new Control Center Video Session Recorder (CCVSR) software. The CCVSR records all operations made on servers accessed through KVM over IP switches. Every operation and change from the BIOS level to logging in, from running software applications to configuring the operating system- is recorded and saved to a secure video file as evidence, without exception. Enhanced capabilities of KVM over IP switches also include: a Message Board, Panel Array Mode™, Mouse DynaSync™, and Adapter ID. With dual on-board NICs, the KVM over IP switches are built for reliability, to ensure 24/7 availability of remote access to all server room computers. Should one of the IP become unavailable, the other will take over in order to keep the system functioning normally. With Aten KVM over IP switches IT administrators can manage their server rooms and data centers from practically anywhere – minimizing travel costs and MTTR (Mean Time to Repair)  – ensuring the highest availability of data center services possible.
