In situations where multiple PC Servers are used, APC KVM switches provide the ability to reduce hardware costs, reduce energy consumption costs, reduce air conditioning costs, and save valuable space in the datacenter. This is accomplished by eliminating the need for a keyboard, monitor, and mouse dedicated to each server. By allowing for one centralized point of control for up to 64 servers, APC KVM switches truly provide a solution which increases the availability and manageability of the server environment.
