Raritan KX2 KVM over IP Switches

The Raritan KX II solution consists of the KVM over IP switch and Computer Interface Modules (CIMs)

  • Each CIM connects to the server's KVM ports and converts video signals for transmission of up to 150 feet over UTP cabling.  CIMs also provide keep-alive keyboard/mouse emulation
  • Dominion KX II offers KVM over IP capabilities for remote access, plus simultaneous local access for controlling servers at the rack.
  • Remote users easily access Dominion KX II from Windows, Linux, Sun or Mac desktops via a wide range of Web browsers or standalone client via modem.  Raritan's remote client software is automatically downloaded via Web browser; standalone versions of client software can be pre-installed for modem access.
  • Dominion KX II provides its entire feature set out of the box: Virtual Media, AES encryption, dual power supplies and dual gigabit Ethernet ports with failover, SNMP, Syslog, as well as integration with LDAP, Radius and Active Directory authentication.

A built-in modem ensures emergency access to mission-critical servers, even when the network or Internet is unavailable.

The newest Raritan KX models include the KX464 and KX132. The KX464 is the industry?s first 64-port KVM-over-IP switch, providing the highest port density, so you can manage more servers with 50% to 75% fewer switches, IP addresses and network drops. The KX132 provides a low cost per port and capacity for future expansion.
