Reference Guide: Avocent SwitchView MP KVM Switch

From Avocent Corporation
 

 
Under my desk there are four, count 'em, four computers. One is the main 'business” machine on which I do my writing, my e-mail, and maintain the Reference Guide Web site. A second machine runs the software that controls all our lights and thermostats. The third and fourth are the systems I use to install and run the products I write about. Heavens, I don't want to keep installing and uninstalling software on my main system. One flub and Reference Guide would be out of business—at least for a while. Since I can do only one thing at a time, it wouldn't make sense to have four keyboards, four video monitors, and four mice. That would also take up a lot of space and waste expensive electricity. But with a KVM switch (keyboard, video, mouse), I can use one keyboard, monitor, and mouse to control all four systems.
