Lantronix Spider
™
provides secure KVM (keyboard, video, mouse)
server management over an IP network. Unlike any other product
on the market, Spider offers a flexible, scalable and affordable
CAT5-based remote access KVM solution in a cable friendly,
compact "zero-footprint" package.
Spider is ideal for remotely managing geographically distributed
IT equipment. It eliminates server-to-switch CAT5 cable distance
limitations and gives system administrators 24/7 access to mission-
critical servers distributed across a wide variety of network
environments such as high-density data centers, corporate or university campuses, multi-floor buildings, branch
offices, and test and development labs.
Connected directly to the server, Spider guarantees non-blocked access from any web browser, anywhere, at
any time! More cost-effective than traditional KVM, it provides one of the lowest "cost-per-remote-user" server
management solutions available. And no client software or external power supply is required.
Amazingly scalable, Spiders can be easily daisy-chained together using Lantronix SwitchPort+
™
integrated
Ethernet switch technology. This provides an economical and highly flexible solution in environments where
numerous cable drops and distance limitations can be a challenge when adding servers.
Access Servers Anytime, from Anywhere – No Cable Distance Restrictions
KVM over IP switches are a valuable part of an effective infrastructure
management strategy, enabling administrators to gain BIOS-level access
to servers, perform maintenance and solve problems from
virtually anywhere at a moment’s notice – regardless
of location. However, the cable distance
limitation between servers and a KVM
switch present a problem. In a
"distributed IT" environment
a better solution is needed.
Lantronix Spider provides secure KVM
access to servers over a standard IP
network. It does not have the cable-length
restrictions inherent with computer interface
modules (CIMs) and current CAT5 KVM switches.
Servers can be across the room or across the globe!
Video degradation is not a factor, and additional
cable drops are not necessary.
