| Comparison
Are you thinking about buying a networking
device that will allow you to control your servers from
a remote console? Use the following set of questions to
help you make the best decision.
Comparison Criteria
Level of Control
Does the device give you complete keyboard, video and
mouse control locally and over IP?
Does it give you both BIOS-level access and remote power
control?
Kaveman enables you to remotely control your servers as
if you were at the local console. Kaveman's functionality
includes remote reset, power control, and BIOS-level manipulations
in addition to regular operation.
Use of Network Resources
How much bandwidth does the device use?
Kaveman minimizes bandwidth use with its advanced video
compression algorithms and "delta only" refresh
method.
How intrusive is the device?
Do you have to install additional software on the target
servers? On the remote clients?
How does the installation impact the number of possible
points of failure?
Because Kaveman is an application specific hardware-based
device, no additional software needs to be installed on
the target computer to operate the unit.
Responsiveness
How responsive is the unit locally and over IP?
What is the video quality?
Video and hardware development is Digital V6's specialty.
We pride ourselves on our video quality and mouse response.
Check it out yourself by requesting a demo.
Security
Does the unit require passwords and/or support
certificate use?
Is the data encrypted?
Are there any additional security features to prevent
security breaches?
Kaveman requires passwords, can support certificates,
and uses 128-bit SSL technology to encrypt the keyboard
and mouse signals. To further protect your network, Kaveman
incorporates two unique security breach prevention features
- stealth mode and turtle mode.
Unique Features
Does the device offer additional functionality,
such as monitoring and notification?
Kaveman is the first KVM control over IP device to offer
automatic monitoring and notification.
Compatibility and Scalability
Is it compatible with your existing infrastructure?
Does it take advantage of existing software programs?
Is it compatible with your existing KVM infrastructure?
Kaveman is compatible with most operating systems and
KVM switches. If you have an Internet browser or VNC installed
on your remote computer, you don't need to install any
additional software to use Kaveman.
Cost Per Port
What is the cost per port for the device?
Can you reduce cost per port by scaling the device using
a KVM switch?
Kaveman offers the lowest cost per port KVM over IP solution.
Cost per port can be further reduced because Kaveman is
infinitely scalable using KVM switches.
Additional Software Costs
What, if any, additional software is required
to operate the KVM Over IP system?
What is the cost of deployment, including user licenses?
What remote client is used?
Because it uses a browser as the remote client software,
there are no hidden software costs to use the Kaveman.
You pay only for the networking device, not for supporting
programs.
