KVM Switching
AutoView KVM switching systems feature new advanced cabling options
that let you manage PS/2, USB, Sun and serial devices from one solution.
Integrated access cables provide keyboard, video and mouse
connectivity in one, slim CAT 5 cable, which reduces cable bulk and
saves time and money. A smart chip interface automatically assigns and
retains unique server names for each attached server.
You can connect multi-platform servers to a single switch and configure
servers at the rack with a user-friendly on-screen display (OSD). The
convenient OSD lets you easily name and select your servers.
The AutoView 2020 and 2030 switches feature local virtual media for
connecting USB media devices. With virtual media, you can transfer data
that is stored on CDs, USB thumb drives, USB external hard drives or any
other media source between targets.

LOCAL virtual media
AutoView 2020 and 2030 Switches
with Local Virtual Media
AutoView 2020 and AutoView 2030 dual user 16-port KVM switches
offer local virtual media support for midsize data centers. The AutoView
switch’s local virtual media lets you share a directly-connected USB
storage device to all servers connected to a KVM switch. For example, IT
administrators inside a data center or server room can connect a USB
flash drive to the KVM switch, making it available to all targets without
having to connect the flash drive to each individual server. This saves
time when performing file transfers, applications and OS patches and
diagnostic testing.
AutoView 2020 and 2030 switches with local virtual media support
solve the problem of transferring data that is stored on USB
media devices, such as CDs, flash memory devices or external drives.
