The Avocent AMX analog KVM switching solution provides simultaneous, real-time user access to all major server platforms and serial devices. By connecting two AMX matrix switches to your desktop user station for switch redundancy with automatic failover, you can maintain access to your mission-critical servers and serial devices.
Alternately, you can access your local computer and an AMX matrix switch with the desktop user station for efficient, real-time use and management of connected servers and serial devices.
The AMX analog KVM switching system features full-system management with an advanced, Java-based administration tool, optimal video resolution and an on-screen graphical interface. The AMX switch can operate over your existing UTP cable infrastructure and optional skew compensation ensures video quality is automatically adapted to cable type and length.
