KVM support solutions on show in Florida

KVM IP gateway for remote support on show at Optimising and Securing the Remote Service Infrastructure show at Orlando, Florida, on 6th and 7th February 2007.

Minicom Advanced Systems will show IP Control, its latest KVM IP gateway for remote support, at this year's Optimising and Securing the Remote Service Infrastructure show at Orlando, Florida, on 6th and 7th February 2007. The palm-sized hardware device lets service administrators perform BIOS level access and control operations for remote computers, via a standard web-browser. With IP Control, extended downtime becomes a thing of the past as mission-critical computers and intelligent devices can be rebooted, without direct physical contact and without having to wait for a field technician to arrive on site.

IP Control is based on proprietary KVM (keyboard, video and mouse) technology that increases the speed and diagnosis accuracy for remote support service providers, and results in lower costs for those operating intelligent devices.

Also, KVM technology, unlike software-based remote support solutions, works out-of-band, with no dedicated software running on the existing network that could conflict with mission-critical applications.

IP Control is the latest KVM IP gateway solution from Minicom.

Rami Sasson, VP Business Development at Minicom says: 'With 24/7 access and control, the manufacturers and operators of these intelligent devices can now achieve faster turnaround times and a massive saving on service costs'.

'Our remote KVM support solutions represent a significant competitive edge for those who implement them'.

IP Control is ideal for digital signage applications that require control and maintenance of remote players from a central control room.

It also greatly helps advertisers by allowing them to monitor their advertisements without having to leave the office.
