The Distributed KVMoverIP Solution CONNECT SMART. DO MORE. The Next Generation KVMoverIP Distributed KVM for the Global IT Environment Lantronix Spider provides secure KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) server management over an IP network. Unlike any other product on the market, Spider offers a flexible, scalable and affordable CAT5-based remote access KVM solution in a cable friendly, compactzero-footprin package. Spider is ideal for remotely managing geographically distributed IT equipment. It eliminates server-to-switch CAT5 cable distance limitations and gives system administrators 24/7 access to mission- critical servers distributed across a wide variety of network environments such as high-density data centers, corporate or university campuses, multi-floor buildings, branch offices, and test and development labs. Connected directly to the server, Spider guarantees non-blocked access from any web browser, anywhere, at any time More cost-effective than traditional KVM, it provides one of the lowestcost-per-remote-use server management solutions available. And no client software or external power supply is required. Amazingly scalable, Spiders can be easily daisy-chained together using Lantronix SwitchPort+ integrated Ethernet switch technology. This provides an economical and highly flexible solution in environments where numerous cable drops and distance limitations can be a challenge when adding servers. Access Servers Anytime, from Anywhere No Cable Distance Restrictions KVM over IP switches are a valuable part of an effective infrastructure management strategy, enabling administrators to gain BIOS-level access to servers, perform maintenance and solve problems from virtually anywhere at a moments notice regardless of location. However, the cable distance limitation between servers and a KVM switch present a problem. In adistributed I environment a better solution is needed. Lantronix Spider provides secure KVM access to servers over a standard IP network. It does not have the cable-length restrictions inherent with computer interface modules (CIMs) and current CAT5 KVM switches. Servers can be across the room or across the globe Video degradation is not a factor, and additional cable drops are not necessary. 1.
