A Keyboard, Video, Mouse switch (also known as a KVM) is a hardware device used to control multiple computers, usually found in heavily trafficked areas such as data centers. More specifically, when a rack contains many different servers in it, installing a KVM switch becomes essential from a productivity and efficiency standpoint! Data center managers and IT personnel require quick, easy access to servers to fix issues in case of emergency situations, or reroute resources keeps the network running smoothly during peak hours. Let's take a look at how Tripp Lite's solution specifically solves problems for data center managers and IT techs.
