Looking for a simple & intuitive solution that means that you can access & manage servers in your data center? HP KVM Analog Console Switches allow you to view & manage up to 256 rackmount servers in your data center through a single user interface. HP KVM Analog Console Switches utilize a local On-Screen Display (OSD) interface, accessed through a rack console such as the HP LCD8500, that provides intuitive menus for accessing each attached server or serial managed device. HP G3 KVM Analog Console Switches support an optional USB (Universal Serial Bus) Remote Access Key that allow you to upgrade to KVM-over-IP functionality, providing remote access & management via the On-Board Web Interface (OBWI). HP KVM Analog Console Switches are available in 4, 8 & 16-Port models. Standard rack mounting of the KVM Console Switch will share 1U (1.75-inch) of front panel rack space with the rack console. However, each model can also be mounted in a "zero U" profile by mounting in the side rails of the rack.
