Secure Desktop Switching Applications
SwitchView SC switches
Requirement:
A government analyst with multiple workstations needs to consolidate the workstations with a keyboard, mouse
and up to two monitors. Each workstation has a different security classifi cation and matching network connection (unclassifi ed,
secret, etc.).
Avocent Solution: The NIAP certifi ed SwitchView SC switch technology makes it impossible to transfer data between the
connected computers. Separate I/O processors control KVM switching and access to computers – an important factor for a user
who may access secure and non-secure networks from one point of contact.
In this application diagram, the SwitchView SC
1x8 switch is connected to unsecure and secure
workstations. To achieve the highest level of secure
confi guration, only workstations with the same
security classifi cation should be connected to
each of the SwitchView SC 1x8 switch port’s four
secure channels. The SwitchView SC 1x4 KVM
switch has two secure channels. Both switches
support PS/2 peripherals and VGA video.
