Technology solutions provider Black Box (News - Alert) Corporation (BBOX) has recently announced new KVM-over-IP solution called, InvisaPC, which easily works over a local area network (LAN) or the Internet.
This new solution offers point-to-point extension over IP (in real time over a LAN or with low latency over the Internet), switched extension with up to 32 virtual RDP machines/physical computers via the transmitter.
In addition, the InvisaPC supports DVI-D video and USB-HID signals with low latency to deliver real-time performance for video, keyboards and mice across IP networks. Users can utilize this solution for hardware-based desktop extension from multiple physical CPU’s or virtual machines.
The InvisaPC requires a host server with an operating system and associated Client Access Licenses (CALs). However, the InvisaPC doesn’t require any drivers or software to be installed on computers. This hardware-based solution is plug-and-play, directly connecting to the network interface right out of the box.
This advanced solution is suitable for users who are looking for an easy migration from physical desktops to remote desktops on virtual machines while supporting high-performance applications.
Users can get an integrated support for back-racked PCs and virtual desktops and the desktop virtualization is deployed through a PC or server that hosts multiple virtual desktops. The workstations can be running Mac, Linux, or Microsoft (News - Alert) operating systems using an InvisaPC transmitter. InvisaPC transmitter usage helps users to get their system support digital video, digital audio, and USB peripheral extension across IP networks.
Mike McCurry (News - Alert), product manager at Black Box, said that the new InvisaPC bridges the gap between standard KVM-over-IP extension/switching and access to virtual machines.
“Users can access multiple assigned computers from their workplace as they usually do and, by using virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), they can also effectively access multiple virtual desktops that are hosted on a shared server,” added McCurry.
