The COVID-19 pandemic has raised challenges for businesses around the world. For many, the fact that workforces have been driven to work remotely rather than in a centralized office location, has presented major challenges with existing IT strategies. While a remote working culture may not have even been considered prior to March 2020, it has had to be scoped, budgeted, and implemented in a matter of months to allow organisations to continue day-to-day operations.
Those that rely on real-time data access and inter-team collaboration to perform their daily tasks have had to overcome a different set of obstacles. A prime example of this is the command and control environment where operators must maintain a bird's eye view of what is happening around them to ensure optimum performance. Not only do they rely on a multitude of individual monitors, each one giving real-time status information and updates, but also a central video wall to facilitate collaboration and visualization.
With social distancing now common practice, and more people being forced to work remotely, it is essential that operators can still access this critical information in real-time, without any delay, degradation of quality or security risk. This is where IP KVM technology comes into its own.
IP KVM extenders are giving operators the ability to work at greater distances from both their colleagues and the centralized workspace, while IP KVM matrix solutions are allowing teams to run with smaller workforces. Remote access IP KVM technology is supporting staff when they are not able to be physically present in the workplace. Unlike the plethora of software solutions on the market, KVM provides BIOS-level access to computers without exposing the computer to the public internet and without installing software.
So, if you are a data centre manager looking to access, manage and control physical or virtual servers from any location, or a production plant operator needing to view your manufacturing line from a safe and secure location, then look no further. IP KVM is here to give you reliable, instant and real-time access to your essential PCs, whenever and wherever you need it.
