Raritan Computer, a provider of solutions for managing IT infrastructure equipment and the mission-critical applications and services that run on it, will be demonstrating its newest enterprise-class IT management offerings based on remote KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) and serial console server technologies at Computex Taipei 2005, from May 31 to June 4, 2005.
The company will be showing how its remote access and control products and technologies can help accelerate and simplify IT equipment repair and maintenance in a variety of IT environments, including lights-out data centers, virtual data centers and remote offices. Leading German KVM switch maker Peppercon – which Raritan acquired in 2004 – also will be at Computex Taipei, displaying its range of remote KVM-over-IP switches designed to meet the needs of entry-level and SOHO users and its KVM-over-IP subsystems.
Raritan will show its first five-channel 32-port digital KVM switch, The Dominion KX.

An IP-based KVM switch that can support up to 32 servers, and is for environments where multiple IT personnel need to access data from remote data centers simultaneously. The KVM switch supports up to five concurrent users with four of them via a Web browser and one via the local console port, for high-availability access to servers and other devices.
Raritan will also show its serial-over-IP console server, the Dominion SX.
