How it Works
Benefits
Blazing, High Performance Video and Audio
Raritan’s new Dominion KX IV-101 single-port, IP switch supports 4K video at 30 frames-per-second and 1080p video at 60 FPS. Our multi-port Dominion KX III switches provide 1080p at 30 frames-per-second. Both are perfect for broadcast and video-intensive applications. You get ultra-fast connections and switching, while working from anywhere. You can also connect to servers with VGA, DVI, HDMI or DisplayPort video.
The Most Flexible IP Access
Operations, IT administrators, and engineering can all gain access to any computer from anywhere 24/7. This provides broadcast and video intensive applications access over LAN, WAN, and Internet via VPN. With options to connect remotely via user station, laptop, PC, or even your Apple iPhone or iPad.
Maximize Uptime with Emergency Access
Having emergency, out-of-hours access via Internet/VPN provides IT administrators and engineers the ability to configure and maintain critical equipment around the clock to help maximize uptime. With out-of-band, BIOS-level connections by laptop, PC, or even your Apple iPhone or iPad, you get quick access to troubleshoot, reconfigure, reboot and power cycle servers.
Minimize Costs
Minimize your cost by utilizing your corporate network, eliminating expensive, proprietary networks and cabling. You can also leverage inexpensive, standard Ethernet and IP technology. Zero U server dongles use no rack space or power significantly reducing rack space and costs.
