What is a KVM switch?
A KVM switch (with KVM being an abbreviation for “keyboard, video, and mouse”) is a hardware device that allows a user to control multiple computers from one or more([1]) sets of keyboards, video monitors, and mice.
This feature improves productivity, saves space, and money by allowing you to use multiple computers.
The benefits of using a KVM switch:
Usually if you need to control multiple PCs or servers then you need to purchase several sets of keyboard, mice, and monitors. Perhaps your desk is big enough for 2 or even 4 computers, each with its own monitor, keyboard, and mouse. But what if you need to control 6 computers, or 8, or even tens of computers?
Thus, the key benefits of employing a KVM switch are:
- Multiple computer / server control: Users can have quick, easy access to 2, or even much more, PCs or servers from their keyboard, monitor, and mouse setup.
- Reducing clutter: Cutting down on the number of keyboards, monitors, and mice needed frees up desk space.
- Cost saving: Not needing to invest in extra computer equipment helps save you money.
- Space saving: Keep your desk clear, and save much-needed rack space in a server room.
