My sense is that these
systems stress the convenience of fitting into a 1U space but they often include
cheap KVM switches. For me the convenience of a 1U system wears off but
the stability of a good KVM switch is extremely valuable. If you have 16
servers attached to a switch that locks up then it can be a real pain in the
neck to deal with. That is why I use a standard keyboard, mouse, and
monitor but require a very high quality KVM switch.
This is more of what I was looking for suggestions on:
Any thoughts of what brand is good and what ACTUALLY works? This is a LCD
KVM console drawer that mounts within a server cabinet. We have had
issues with past cheap KVM's and want to find one that actually works. I'm aware
these are also sold separately, but we would like the all-in-one package of the
LCD console drawer with KVM integrated. If someone has a suggestion for a
great 16 port KVM they like and a great console with different brands, that's
find too. I'm open to all responses.
Thanks,
David

Any
recommendations for a 16 port - 15" LCD KVM Switch Console? I'm
looking at a
few options, but would like user reviews before making the
big purchase.
Please advise.
Thank you,
