The HP Server Console G2 Switch with Virtual Media and CAC (part number AF618A#0D2) is a comprehensive KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) switch designed to efficiently manage multiple servers from one centralised console. This model supports up to 16 servers, making it an ideal choice for small-to-medium-sized data centres or server rooms requiring streamlined server access. The switch can connect directly to servers via CAT5 cables, providing high-quality video and control capabilities across multiple machines.
One of the standout features of this unit is its support for Virtual Media, which allows administrators to mount local media (CDs, USB drives, etc.) from the client console to target servers even remotely. This can be particularly useful for installing software, drivers, or performing diagnostics across connected systems. Additionally, with Common Access Card (CAC) support, this KVM switch offers enhanced security, allowing for smart card authentication in environments where access control and data protection are vital.
The HP Server Console G2 Switch has a compact desktop form factor, making it space-efficient for various types of installations. The switch supports a maximum of two users, allowing one local user and one remote user to access server functions simultaneously. Remote access is achieved through a browser-based interface, which can greatly simplify server management from anywhere with network access.
This model also includes cross-platform functionality, meaning it can work seamlessly with a variety of server systems, whether they are Windows-based or running UNIX/Linux. The flexibility and strong management features of the HP Server Console G2 Switch underscore its utility as a tool for effective server maintenance and monitoring.
