A KVM Switch is a hardware device that allows you to control multiple computers through a single keyboard, monitor and mouse (KVM). KVM switches are commonly used in data centers where multiple servers are placed in single rack. KVM switches enable network administrators to streamline IT environment and rack space. In addition, it substantially reduces networking cost for organizations and clutter of additional monitors, keyboards and mice required. Another benefit of using KWM is it improves the server manageability. Moreover, decreases energy consumption and reduces floor space, number of racks and cabinets required for networking application. All these benefits result into substantial decrease in the operational costs for enterprises.
Extension of applications from traditional data center to range of non-data center applications is the primary influencing factor expected to drive the demand for advanced KVM switches in the near future. KVM switches are gradually outspreading its application in non-data center scenarios including security and surveillance, kiosk management, digital media/graphics and industrial computer control. KVM switches are expected to play an instrumental role in these extending application area. This is expected to drive the demand for KVM switches through the forecast period 2017 – 2025.
