KX II Overview
Raritan's Dominion KX II is an enterprise-class, secure, digital KVM
(Keyboard, Video, Mouse) switch that provides BIOS-level (and up)
access and control of servers from anywhere in the world via a web
browser. Up to 64 servers can be controlled with a standard KX II. With
the KX II 8-user model, up to 32 servers can be controlled with the
KX2-832 and up to 64 servers can be controlled with the KX2-864.
The KX II supports up to 8 video channels, allowing up to eight
concurrent users to connect to eight different video targets at any given
point in time. At the rack, the KX II provides BIOS-level control of up to
64 servers and other IT devices from a single keyboard, monitor, and
mouse. The integrated remote access capabilities of the KX II provide
the same levels of control of your servers via a web browser.
The KX II is easily installed using standard UTP (Cat 5/5e/6) cabling. Its
advanced features include virtual media, 128-bit encryption, dual power
supplies, remote power control, dual Ethernet, LDAP, RADIUS, Active
Directory
®
, Syslog integration, external modem capabilities, and web
management. The KX II 8-user model also provides an extended local
port located on the back of the device. These features enable you to
deliver higher up-time, better productivity, and bulletproof security - at
any time from anywhere.
KX II products can operate as standalone appliances and do not rely on
a central management device. For larger data centers and enterprises,
numerous KX II devices (along with Dominion SX devices for remote
serial console access and Dominion KSX for remote/branch office
management) can be integrated into a single logical solution using
Raritan's CommandCenter Secure Gateway (CC-SG) management unit.
