Video DynaSync™
Patent-pending ATEN technology relies upon EDID to facilitate a video resolution "handshake"between the
monitor and the computer graphics card output even when the monitor and computer are isolated from one
another by a KVM switch or extender. ATEN calls this technology Video DynaSync™. ...

Fundamentals of Enterprise KVM Solution Options
Keyboard/Video/Mouse (KVM) switching has come a long way over the years. The solution category has proliferated
into a group of four core segments. All have a few characteristics in common. Beyond that, they diverge
into well-defi ned groups of products with shared characteristics. This paper summarizes the most important
characteristics shared by all KVM solutions; defi nes the difference between analog and digital products; and
then provides an overview on each of the sub-categories: Matrix KVM, High-density KVM, IP-Based KVM and
LCD KVM. ...

Why Network Administrators Should Explore
the "V" in K-V-M Switches
Computer video signals have continued to evolve over the last several decades during which an enterprise reference to the "computer" shifted from mostly mainframe and larger "minicomputers" to the distributed client-server model that prevails today. In parallel, the TV has come a long way from the small black and white consoles of the 50s to color to large screen TVs and now HDTV LCD TVs.
For data center administrators who are responsible for monitoring the screens of hundreds, and potentially thousands, of servers and PCs, video resolution becomes paramount for efficiency in the data center or server room. One such tool to aid in this effort is the KVM (keyboard/video/mouse) switch that enables IT professionals to easily and effectively manage servers and other network devices -within the data center or from remote locations. ...

The Rise of USB in the Data Center - The Implementation can Make the Difference
The past 12 years have seen the Universal Serial Bus (USB) grow from pipe dream into the de facto standard to power devices such as peripherals, portable memory devices, video game consoles, PDAs and portable media players.
USB was originally designed to bring all serial and parallel ports on PCs to obsolescence since these were not standardized and required multiple device drivers to be continually developed and updated. ...

Taking Control: IP Devices Promise the Future of
Data Center Control and Management
IT professionals have always wanted the flexibility of anytime, anywhere access to their servers, network devices, and applications. Whether problems caused by device failures, denial of service attacks, cyber intrusions and malware, or natural disasters, data centers are constantly at risk. This need for secure remote management has risen to the forefront as a top priority on the "To Do" list of network administrators. Until now, this was cost-prohibitive for all but the largest data centers. However, the affordability of IP remote management devices has enabled organizations of all sizes to benefit from secure over IP access across the room, throughout an office complex in a distributed computing environment or transcending global boundaries - all via an Internet connection and browser. ...

The Multiple of Multi-Platform KVM Technologies
Every time a network administrator turns around there are new standards, protocols
and platforms to support in the data center - TCP/IP, Telnet, SSH, SSL, PPP, Solaris, USB, MacOS, Linux and Windows 2003 servers - and the list goes on and on. Each of these offers their share of flexibility, standardization, compatibility
and convenience. But they also pose challenges ...
