Kbm2usb Simplifies Managing Of Headless

Headless servers operate without input/output devices – monitors, keyboards, mice, etc. Usually these servers perform tasks not requiring a local user at the console. Yet under some circumstances users need to interact with the machine. Any server may require operator intervention either scheduled or not. Would you like to have a compact standalone device that provides convenient and instant access to the headless machines? Or simply don't to snail with a keyboard and monitor that is unavoidable in case of KVM Extenders? A small KVM2USB from Epiphan Systems will help you. It is suitable for the large data centers requiring permanent monitoring and maintenance.

Servers Become More Accessible

Headless machines administration can be a problem. Fetching a monitor and other peripherals is also a bit of a bother. Each administrator who deploys headless servers and performs routine maintenance may need a portable solution for solving these problems. If you have got KVM Extender, running around with a keyboard, monitor, and mouse is unavoidable – from room to room, from server to server. With KVM2USB you are free from worries. It displays the VGA stream from the any host server on the laptop’s screen and provides keyboard and mouse emulation. This device supports multiple VGA modes up to 1280x1024 and is less than 4 inches long. Now you are able to use a laptop as a replacement for the monitor, mouse, and keyboard. No more hauling around bulky equipment. Just connect KVM2USB to the server via VGA and PS/2 ports and bring your laptop. The server application you are working with is displayed on the laptop’s screen. Switch between several programs if necessary – make screenshots or take notes. The solution does not require any additional power. Should you visit some site to diagnose server equipment - put KVM2USB in your pocket, take along your laptop, and there you go.

KVM2USB Allows Performing Workarounds

The headless servers expansion requires a reliable solution to manage them in different situations. Before using them, you need to make sure that you can successfully perform emergency maintenance. Without this, your headless server efforts will be brain dead. For instance, an essential disadvantage of a headless server is its crash. Whatever the reason is, it will be hard to trace and debug the issue. A workaround to the problem is running the system using input and output means for a test period. The hardware expected to be run in the system should be used. This ensures the hardware can co-exist with the operating system in its role of normal use. KVM2USB provides an easy-to-use, drag-and-drop solution for managing headless servers from a laptop. The video stream is transferred to the laptop’s screen. You can control the server using the laptop’s keyboard and mouse. Anything you can do standing in front of the server with a local keyboard, mouse, and monitor, is available using KVM2USB but fortunately with less efforts.

Solution that Facilitates your Daily Activities
Typical applications for KVM2USB include assembly lines, server rooms, software developers and help desks. Anywhere you have several machines used one at a time it is possible to use KVM2USB. Its benefits are remarkable especially if space is at a premium and you prefer to increase efficiency and cut costs by eliminating unneeded KVM peripherals. The solution provides high quality video resolution and supports multiple operating systems. KVM2USB and a laptop – that is all you need to perform equipment maintenance at large data centers.
