KVM2USB - External Compact KVM Solution
Finally, there's a simple and affordable answer to
every network administrator's biggest annoyance: finding and lugging
around "crash carts" with a monitor, keyboard and mouse to administer
servers and other headless machines. Epiphan Systems' KVM2USB product
is a compact device that conveys the VGA stream from any host computer
to a laptop, while emulating the laptop's keyboard and mouse outputs.
KVM2USB is a truly portable crash cart. Now, all you need to take
with you on administrative site visits is your laptop, the KVM2USB
device (roughly the size of a box of paperclips) and the accompanying
cable.
KVM2USB works with virtually any computerized machine or embedded system, including:
- Windows, Macintosh, Unix computers and servers
- Medical devices, scientific and lab equipment
- ATM machines
- Slot machines and VLTs
The product provides a simple, lightweight and rapid means of
conveying VGA images from host machines to a laptop and simulating the
laptop's keyboard and mouse outputs. This allows administrators and
technicians to quickly and easily connect to - and administer -
headless machines without hassles.
As a compact external device, KVM2USB is easy to use and to
transport. About the size of a box of paperclips, it is easily plugged
in and requires no additional power so you don't have to locate a spare
electrical outlet onsite.
The product ships complete with all required hardware and cabling.
Software development kits are also available for specialized
applications.
