Are there any KVM over IP switches that are not thousands of dollars? Ideally a 3-4 port switch for a few hundred seems reasonable to me.
I can attest that the Adderlink iPEPS and iPEPS-DA are excellent units. They're both in the 500-1000 range. They're intended for a single machine, but as long as your access policies allow for it, putting an electronic KVM switch (~$200) between multiple servers and the iPEPS works well.
You're not going to find much that is usable under that price range. Some of the lower end solutions from other vendors are windows-IE-only. The iPEPS uses encrypted VNC.
Hi Devin,
This is interesting. But can you switch consoles remotely using special keystokes? Or do you need to physically walk over and switch the conventional non-IP unit?
