APC KVM-PS2VM KVM 2G PS/2 Virtual Media Server Module

The APC KVM-PS2VM is a specialized KVM server module designed to integrate PS/2-enabled servers into a modern KVM 2G infrastructure, offering robust control and virtual media capabilities. This device is an essential component for IT professionals managing diverse server environments, providing a streamlined solution for accessing and troubleshooting multiple systems from a single console. It addresses the challenge of unifying control for both contemporary and legacy PS/2 hardware, enhancing operational efficiency within data centers and server rooms. Leveraging KVM 2G technology, this server module delivers enhanced performance, including higher resolution video and faster switching times between connected servers. A key feature is its virtual media support, which allows for remote mounting of CD-ROMs and USB storage devices. This capability is critical for performing remote operating system installations, software updates, and file transfers without requiring physical presence at the server. It also ensures seamless compatibility with existing PS/2 keyboards and mice, protecting investments in established hardware. Designed for flexible deployment, the KVM-PS2VM connects directly to individual servers and then integrates with compatible APC KVM switches. Its compact form factor is ideal for conserving rack space. Beyond standard server control, it supports out-of-band management, granting essential BIOS-level access for diagnostics and troubleshooting even when a server’s operating system is unresponsive. This ensures continuous availability and rapid problem resolution, minimizing downtime and maximizing IT resource utilization.
