Question
Answer
What is Dominion KX II?
Dominion KX II is a second-generation digital KVM
(keyboard, video, mouse) switch that enables one,
two, four or eight IT administrators to access and
control 8, 16, 32 or 64 servers over the network with
BIOS-level functionality. Dominion KX II is
completely hardware- and OS-independent; users
can troubleshoot and reconfigure servers even
when servers are down.
At the rack, Dominion KX II provides the same
functionality, convenience, and space and cost
savings as traditional analog KVM switches.
However, Dominion KX II also integrates the
industry’s highest performing KVM-over-IP
technology, allowing multiple administrators to
access server KVM consoles from any networked
workstation as well as from the iPhone® and iPad®.
