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. A
scan feature allows you to locate and view up to 32 targets. The targets
are displayed as thumbnails in a slide show from which users connect to
each target.
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. Digital audio devices are supported, allowing you to
connect to playback and record devices from the remote client PC to the
target server. 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, 256-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.
