Aten provides Altusen Matrix KM0432 four-console KVM solution

Aten's Altusen Matrix KM0432 represents a practical method for controlling large numbers of servers. Four users can directly control 32 computers and efficiently manage 512 computers simultaneously over the same administrative segment, while also permitting four super administrators the ability to share this control and the ability to float between each branch of 512 computers. At total capacity, the KM0432 supports up to 4096 computers. The KM0432 supports multiple platforms (PC, Mac, Sun and Linux) using CAT5 to PS/2 and CAT5 to USB adapter cables. ISPs and Corporations are among the many examples of beneficiaries of the KM0432.

An Internet Service Provider leases their surplus server capacity to two other corporations. In order to successfully balance the ISP's 2000 servers, in addition to each company's 500 servers, this ISP uses the KM0432 Matrix KVM Switch. The KM0432 enables them to organize servers into manageable segments of up to 512 servers and independently maintain each segment with from four to eight administrators. 

Under this topology, the ISP can realistically dedicate sufficient attention to up to 4096 servers on the installation, even granting the four (super) administrators from the first segment the ability to access all of the servers on the entire installation. 

A newly incorporated business with less than 150 servers and only four MIS administrators on staff began to feel the constraints of their present server room installation. Having experienced steady growth since the companies outset and expecting additional employees and an expanding server room in the coming years, they needed the versatility of an installation permitting them up to eight administrators and a more efficient topology for managing their growing installation. The addition of the KM0432 Matrix KVM Switch provided them with limitless versatility for the future expansion and administration of their servers.
