What are the benefits of using a KVM switch?
The first and most obvious benefit of using a KVM switch is the hardware savings. A KVM switch decreases the number of required keyboards, monitors, and mice in a system allowing customers to reduce the cost of peripherals dramatically. A second benefit is the reduction of energy consumption and air conditioning costs that multiple keyboards, monitors, and mice require. A Cybex KVM switch also allows more efficient use of the valuable space available in server rooms and data centers. Customers can use their limited space for productive servers, routers, hubs, and printers, not keyboards, monitors and mice. With a Cybex KVM switch, computers can be controlled more efficiently by centralizing control instead of forcing network managers to spend time walking around in data centers, looking for a particular set of peripherals.
