I have a few locations where I have installed 1U rack mount
KVM/monitor/keyboards, and quite frankly. I'm not happy with any of the
ones I have tried.
I recognize this is off topic, but the people on this list are pretty hard
to please. Given that I was wondering if anyone would like to recomend
anything that they have used for these, and been happy with?
A few people mentioned serial connections, but that doesn't really
answer your question, since you'd still need a KVM. You'd also need
computers that properly do serial console.
The 1U KVM consoles I've used range from adequate to suck. My best
suggestion is KVM/IP (Avocent, etc.), serial as others have mentioned,
or ILO/DRAC. That way you don't have to stand next to the servers.
