KVM switch over IP devices use a dedicated micro-controller and potentially specialized video capture hardware to capture the video, keyboard, and mouse signals, compress and convert them into packets, and send them over an Ethernet link to a remote console application that unpacks and reconstitutes the dynamic graphical image. KVM over IP ...
The iKVM switch in the Dell enclosure is an Avocent switch and one can connect (tier) the iKVM module to other digital KVM switches such as the Dell 2161 and 4161 or Avocent DSR digital switches. Also tiering the iKVM to analog KVM switches as the Dell 2160AS or 180AS or other Avocent (compatible) KVM switches is possible. [2]

The Dell Remote Access Controller (DRAC) is an out-of-band management platform on certain Dell servers. The platform may be provided on a separate expansion card , or integrated into the main board ; when integrated, the platform is referred to as iDRAC .
Rackmount lay-flat KVM. A KVM is a computer input/output device offering the combination of a keyboard, video monitor and mouse (pointing device).They are typically constructed to fit into a 19-inch rack although there are manufacturers who offer a KVM that can be mounted to a flat surface such as a control console.
Using a standardized interface and protocol allows systems-management software based on IPMI to manage multiple, disparate servers. As a message-based, hardware-level interface specification, IPMI operates independently of the operating system (OS) to allow administrators to manage a system remotely in the absence of an operating system or of the system management software.
As management via serial port has traditionally been important on servers, a complete remote management system also allows interfacing with the server through a serial over LAN cable. As sending monitor output through the network is bandwidth intensive, cards like AMI's MegaRAC use built-in video compression [ 2 ] (versions of VNC are often ...
KVM switch (keyboard, video, and mouse switch), originally a hardware device for controlling multiple computers, now also used to refer to software tools used to achieve similar functionality (for example Synergy and various more fully open-source equivalents)
