Comments about NetDirector 8-Port 1U Rackmount Console KVM Switch:
Imagine that you have access up to 8 computers/servers with only one screen/keyboard/mouse...wouldn't it be great?
Well, that's what I'm doing in my server room thanks to this console KVM/Switch. It helps me a lot when I have to work on the servers: Just press one button to switch to the computer I want, and here it is!
Just make sure to have long cables if your computers are far away from the console KMV.
