About
KVM Switches-An Essential Server Management
Device
A KVM (Keyboard, Video and Mouse)
switch is an advanced, hardware-based
solution that allows centralized access
to multiple computers easily and conveniently
from a single keyboard, monitor, and
mouse. A KVM switch is useful in an
extensive range of environments, suitable
for SOHO users, small and medium businesses,
and large corporations. Fundamentally,
a KVM switch allows server rooms and
data centers to optimize rack space
in the IT environment, reducing costs
and the clutter of keyboards, monitors
and mice. Additional benefits include
savings in energy consumption, server
racks, cabinets, and floor space.
Since a KVM switch provides access
to a number of computers from a central
location, IT professionals are no
longer running from one server to
the next, thereby streamlining workflow
and increasing productivity. To meet
the ever-developing needs of the globalized
economy and the Internet, KVM solutions
now have over-IP functionality for
remote management capability that
better fulfills the demands of corporations
who need to manage multiple server
rooms worldwide.

Taipei, November 17, 2009 - ATEN International, a leading designer, manufacturer and distributor of advanced communication solutions, today introduces its first Digital KVM Extender. The CE790 is an IP-based KVM Extender with automatic cable detection (Auto-MDIX) and RS-232 serial functionality that allows access to a computer system from a remote USB console (USB keyboard, monitor, and USB mouse) anywhere on the intranet. 
Both the transmitter and receiver units are assigned a unique IP address and connect via a single Cat 5e cable, making the CE790 Digital KVM Extender system perfect for use in any type of installation where multiple consoles in conveniently accessible locations are needed, such as control rooms, internet cafes, or computer-aided learning classrooms, or where a user wants the various system equipment to reside in environmentally-controlled and/or secure equipment rooms.
" Our new Digital KVM Extender enables users to manage the system efficiently and conveniently from a remote console located anywhere on the existing LAN environment. In contrast to an analog KVM extender, the CE790 Digital KVM Extender supports high quality digital audio and video streaming with no distance limitation and trailing smear." says Kevin Chen, President of ATEN International.
