Dominion KX II Overview
The Dominion KX II is an enterprise-class, secure, digital KVM
(Keyboard, Video, Mouse) switch that provides BIOS-level (and up)
access, and control of up to 64 servers from anywhere in the world via a
web browser. At the rack, the Dominion KX II provides BIOS-level control
of up to 64 servers and other IT devices from a single keyboard, monitor,
and mouse. The integrated remote access capabilities of the Dominion
KX II provide the same levels of control of your servers via a web
browser.
The Dominion KX II is easily installed using standard UTP (Cat 5/5e/6)
cabling. Its advanced features include virtual media, 128-bit encryption,
dual power supplies, remote power control, dual Ethernet, LDAP,
RADIUS, Active Directory, Syslog integration, external modem
capabilities, and web management. These features enable you to deliver
higher up-time, better productivity, and bulletproof security - at any time
from anywhere.
Dominion KX II products can operate as standalone appliances and do
not rely on a central management device. For larger data centers and
enterprises, numerous Dominion KX II devices (along with Dominion SX
devices for remote serial console access and Dominion KSX for
remote/branch office management) can be integrated into a single logical
solution using Raritan's CommandCenter Secure Gateway (CC-SG)
management unit.
