16 server KVM recommendations

[AJWhite1970]

Hi

 

I'm looking to replace my old 8 port KVM switch (vga and ps2 connectors) with a 16 port version that ideally comes with the ability to also view screens via an IP address/browser (for when I'm working on servers remotely and need to access the BIOS screens)

 

Does anyone have any good recommendations for a replacement that they use? Ideally rack mounted but not essential.

 

Cheers

Andrew

Do your servers not have iLO, iDRAC, iPMI etc on them ? I don't think out of all our server rooms we have any KVMs and just ensure we get full remote management licenses for the hosts as its one less thing to go wrong / patch / maintain etc..

I use Altusen KVM's made by Aten. You can chain them beyond 256 servers I think. I use the lower end ones but they do better ones some with the features you're looking for I'm sure.
