Maintaining effective IT operations is crucial to keeping businesses and services running. With workforces navigating the adjustments of the new normal, sustaining 24/7 uninterrupted IT services while remaining competitive has become more mission-critical than ever. Meanwhile, as the amount of data has continued to grow exponentially over the years, boosting operational efficiency remains the focal point for data center and server room professionals as they strive to streamline routine procedures in automated processes, such as data entry, feature testing, BIOS flash, system updates, and much more.
The CS18216, featuring superior 4K video quality, USB 3.0 peripheral agility, and space-saving rackmount capability, allows 16 computers to be centrally controlled via a single console where IT engineers are enabled to expedite system operations by configuring multiple units simultaneously instead of working one at a time; routine or repetitive tasks and procedures can be promptly replicated and broadcasted on multiple computers in seconds, slashing time, space, and cost, while pursuing strengthened enterprise productivity.
With connection to HDMI or DisplayPort-enabled computers, 4K USB 3.0 Rack KVM Switch series effortlessly enriches console desktop operations with up to 4K DCI (4096 x 2160 @60 Hz) visual excellence. Video sources of high resolution visuals and imaging are displayed with great precision for improved analysis.
Empowered by patented ATEN technology – Video DynaSync™, Rack KVM Switches deliver a smooth viewing experience by maintaining the ideal video settings under all operating systems when switching between ports, speeding up switching between systems, and powering up uninterruptedly while eliminating boot-up display problems.
The practical and efficient Broadcast Mode can be easily invoked via OSD or serial commands to perform the same task or command simultaneously on all connected computers across different OS platforms, including software installation and upgrading, function testing, BIOS flash update, system-wide shutdown, and more, making server management effortless and hassle-free.
The number of connected computers can be scaled up to 256 by cascading the CS18216 in 2 levels, leaving room and flexibility for network expansion when needed.
When a large amount of complex content needs to be viewed at once or there’s a need to examine intensive data for analysis, up to 8 Rack KVM Switches can be stacked up to allow up to 8 monitors to be set up in a multi-display configuration (such as dual- / triple- / quad-display) to facilitate live feeds among computers at the console desktop.
The built-in 2-port USB 3.1 Gen 1 hub supports plug-n-play connection to two peripheral devices (e.g., printer, scanner, flash drive, etc.) for high-speed data transmission of up to 5 Gbps transfer rate, making console desktop operations agile and efficient.
Port switching is as easy and convenient as pressing the front-panel pushbuttons, pressing supported hotkeys, using the OSD, or entering RS-232 commands, whichever works best for you.
The ATEN 2-in-1U Mounting Kit (model: 2K-0001 / 2K-0002) enables the housing of an ATEN Rack KVM Switch with an ATEN Ultra Short Depth LCD Console in a 1U rack space, facilitating rack installation with optimum space efficiency.
