Fundamentals of Enterprise KVM Solution Options

Digital KVM switches convert the analog signal from the server console ports into digital signals. This makes transmitting the signals over computer networks possible, such as IP networks, which enables the user to access the KVM switch via a web browser from virtually anywhere. Digital switches are typically also known as IP-Based KVM. Analog KVM switches will merely pass the analog KVM signal from the server to the target console via Server Interface Modules (SIMs) or dongles. Analog KVM switches may be connected to an external IP-Based device that converts the analog signal to a digital signal, to transmit that signal over IP networks.
