Answer
Dominion KX III is a third-generation digital
KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) switch that
enables one, two, four or eight IT
administrators to access and control 8, 16, 32
or 64 servers over the network with BIOS-level
functionality. Dominion KX III is completely
hardware- and OS-independent; users can
troubleshoot and reconfigure servers even
when servers are down.
At the rack, Dominion KX III provides the same
functionality, convenience, and space and cost
savings as traditional analog KVM switches.
However, Dominion KX III also integrates the
industry's highest performing KVM-over-IP
technology, allowing multiple administrators to
access server KVM consoles from any
networked workstation as well as from the
iPhone ® and iPad ® .
The KX III is the next generation version of the
KX II. Featuring a modern hardware design
with increased computing power and storage,
the KX III provides KVM-over-IP access for IT
administration, as well as high performance IP
access for broadcast applications. KX III
includes virtually all KX II features with the
following advancements:
The KX III's new video processing engine
supports a broad range of applications from
traditional computer applications to the most
dynamic broadcast applications requiring 30
frames-per-second 1920x1080 video, 24 bit
color, digital audio, dual monitors and DVI,
HDMI, DisplayPort and VGA video.
With the industry's first DVI-based local port,
the KX III's common user interface provides
new levels of productivity and performance for
at-the-rack administration and server access.
All KX III models feature a tiering port to
connect multiple Dominion KX III switches
together and access the attached servers. Up
to 1024 servers can be accessed via a
consolidated port list.
KX III supports all Dominion and Paragon II
CIMs supported by KX II.
