Raritan Dominion KX

Raritan KVM switch over IP

Dominion KX is an enterprise-class, secure, digital KVM appliance that combines analogue switching with one of the industry's highest-performing KVM Over IP (remote access) technology. At the rack, Dominion KX provides BIOS-level control of up to 32 servers and other IT devices from a single keyboard, monitor, and mouse.

How it works

Raritans KVM switch over IP, Dominion KX, consists of two components: the digital KVM switch and Computer Interface Modules (CIMs). Each CIM connects to the KVM ports of an individual server and delivers ?keep-alive? keyboard/mouse emulation ensuring that servers never hang. Plus, CIMs convert video signals for transmission over UTP (Cat5/5e/6) cabling. The Dominion KX switch connects to each CIM and provides KVM Over IP capabilities for remote access, as well as a local access port for controlling servers at the rack. Remote users easily access Dominion KX from any networked workstation via a standard Web browser. A true data center appliance, Dominion KX provides its entire feature set out-of-the-box: 128-bit SSL encryption, remote power control, dual failover Ethernet, LDAP, RADIUS, and Active Directory integration.
