The HP IP Console Switch combines both analog and IP KVM switching for high performance KVM access both inside and outside the datacenter.
Requiring no software to be installed on the target servers, the HP IP Console Switch can be attached to a variety of servers running different operating systems. Users can tier this switch with the previous generation of legacy Compaq KVM switches and HP CAT5 based analog KVM Switches to allow up to 256 servers to be managed from a single HP IP Console Switch. The optional 8-Port CAT5 KVM Expansion module allows cost-effective connection of up to 128 servers Utilizing CAT5 UTP cables between the switch and server, facilitates cable routing and allows for field termination of custom cable lengths. The optional Directory Services Integration License Key enables authentication to a Microsoft Active Directory Server via LDAP to ensure enterprise-wide security is maintained.
