It's technology refresh time here for some infrastructure in our main computer room. We typically have a rackmount console unit (monitor/keyboard/mouse) in each rack, along with (currently) a non-IP (i.e. local-only) KVM unit. We mainly have been using Dell 2160AS KVMs, along with some older Avocent units.
We'd like to move to IP KVMs, where we can bring up the console remotely (working in computer rooms sucks as you all know...) Probably 16-port units, although 8-port may be acceptable in some cases. Be great to support more than one concurrent connection to each KVM. What does everyone like? (Or dislike? We had a Raritan IP KVM in our other computer room, the Java-based console was very flakey, to the point I stopped using it...) Also, looking at Dell 1U rackmount console units (FPM185) - anyone use these, if so what's to know (if anything) good or bad about them? Also, if there are other 1U consoles we should check out, let me know. Thanks community! Will
