How does a KVM Switch Work?
Using a single keyboard, video display monitor, and mouse, you may operate many PCs, servers, digital signage players, and other devices using a KVM (Keyboard, Video, and Mouse) switch. You can switch and route signals across all source devices and workspaces with this tool.
In most cases, KVM switches are situated between the user and the source devices. Direct connections from the user terminal to the KVM switch ports are made for the keyboard, video, and mouse. In an HD environment, computers, other source devices, and USB devices are connected to the KVM switch via video cables and USB cables.
What are the Advantages of KVM Switches?
With KVM switches, servers can be placed remotely in a secure, climate-controlled location where their noise and heat won’t interfere with business operations. Unlike direct computer connections, the user experiences the same thing, but with less clutter and a tidy, ergonomic workspace that enables far faster response times.
KVM switches reduce equipment costs, streamline maintenance, and use less energy to cool server rooms, all of which result in financial savings.
