IPC2U Group announces a new Hideaway LCD KVM switch - KL1116

ATEN Technology, Inc., announced an innovative addition to its expansive line of rackmount LCD KVM solutions. The new KL1116 HideawayTM LCD KVM Switch is a 16-port KVM unit that allows access to multiple computers from a single LCD console and is available in 15” or 17” display models.

The new model sports an innovative dual-rail design that allows the console to slide back while the LCD panel remains in plain sight – even with the server rack door closed – to monitor and troubleshoot servers. The KL1116 features the KH0116 KVM device built into this LCD unit. Through daisy chaining of up to 31 additional KH0116 units, 512 servers can be controlled.

A new KL1116 Hideaway KVM solution provides data center administrators with powerful server access coupled with the convenience of viewing the LCD monitor while the keyboard and touchpad are tucked away neatly in the rack. The KL1116 offers a space-saving and cost-effective KVM solution that is certainly a boon to administrators overwhelmed by cable and hardware clutter.
