General Information
Overview
Introduction
KVM ACCESS provides single portal, single login, secure, centralized access, administration and
management of your entire network - local and worldwide - anywhere, anytime. KVM ACCESS offers a
single, integrated browser-based interface to manage all your devices. Users no longer need to learn the
interface for each individual device, making system management easier and more efficient.
By consolidating the management of your IT devices, KVM ACCESS software allows every device to
be securely accessed and controlled by means of a single IP address. Servers and network equipment are
integrated into a single tree view, making KVM ACCESS software ideal for enterprises with data centers
and branch offices, located in several remote locations.
Recognizing the broad spectrum of computing environments, KVM ACCESS Java software
implementation allows it to work with Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) enabled operating systems,
ensuring multi-platform integration and mutual operability.
