Next-Generation Hardware

Architecture

Dominion KX II is a true next-generation switch with an advanced

hardware and software architecture. This innovative design enables

new levels of KVM-over-IP performance, reliability, usability,

compatibility and security.

“Plug and Play” Appliance –

Quick and Easy Setup

Dominion KX II is a secure, Linux

-based hardware appliance. All

Dominion KX II features, including authentication and Web access,

are built into the unit and do not require the use of an additional

server.

High Performance, Next-

Generation Video Hardware with

HD Video Resolution and Digital

Audio

Dominion KX II’s KVM-over-IP engine uses Raritan’s next-

generation technology, providing users with virtual at-the-rack

performance. Next-generation features include ultra-fast screen

refresh, 1920x1080 high definition remote video resolution, digital

audio and advanced color calibration.

Dual Power Supplies with

Failover

For increased reliability and redundancy, all Dominion KX II models

have dual AC inputs, dual power supplies and automatic failover to

support redundant power distribution. If a power supply fails, the

customer will be notified via front panel LED, SNMP TRAP, log

message or via the administrative manager.

Four USB Ports for Keyboard,

Mouse and USB Media

The Dominion KX II has four USB 2.0 ports, three on the back panel

and one on the front panel, for local keyboard, mouse and USB

media.

Dual Gigabit Ethernet Ports with

Failover

Dominion KX II provides high availability with dual gigabit Ethernet

ports for redundancy. Should one Ethernet switch or interface card

fail, Dominion KX II will automatically failover to the other port and

continue operating.

Multiple Hardware Models

Multiple hardware models enable simultaneous access by one, two,

four or eight remote users to 8, 16, 32 or 64 servers. Raritan is the

first and only vendor to provide four and eight user, 64-port, digital

KVM switches.

1U or 2U Form Factor

The Dominion KX2-464 and KX2-864 are 2U solutions. Other

Dominion KX II models are only 1U in height. Dominion KX II is

extremely rack-efficient.
