We just switched from using Avocent/Cyclades to using Raritan for our terminal servers, and I am happier with the Raritan. I have used Raritan IP KVM's in the past and been happy, and the IT folks seem to like their new one. I found the Raritan terminal server docs much more complete, it's support

Of course, sftp and other ssh-based protocols are *still* hamstrung to a maximum of 32k data outstanding due to hardcoded SSH channel window sizes by default for most people, unless you're patching up both your clients and servers. Sadly, this blows ssh out of the water for anything with even m

Have you considered VM's for remote OS access to win devices and eliminating vga/kb requirements? If you are looking for console uptime and ease of use, avoid anything with moving parts (disk) and go with cisco. Consider the secondary market for the concentrator and cards to keep costs very low.
