Why Network Administrators Should Explore the "V" in KVM Switches
Overview
Computer video signals have continued to evolve over the last several decades during which an enterprise reference to the "computer" shifted from mostly mainframe and larger "minicomputers" to the distributed client-server model that prevails today.
For data center administrators responsible for monitoring the screens of hundreds, and potentially thousands, of servers and PCs, video resolution becomes paramount for efficiency in the data center or server room. One tool to aid this effort is the KVM (keyboard/video/mouse) switch that enables IT professionals to easily and effectively manage servers and other network devices -- within the data center or from remote locations.
This white paper offers a technical glimpse into the "whys" behind the "V" in KVM and the importance of video resolution. The paper also provides a historical perspective on video signals and charts the continuum to high video resolution resident in the KVM products of today.
