IPC2U Group announces a new 8-Port Slideaway LCD KVM Switch - CL1758

ATEN Technology, Inc., today announced a new space-saving LCD KVM console that can be mounted in less than 1U of rack space. The new CL1758 SlideawayTM LCD KVM Switch is an 8-port, rackmount LCD KVM switch that features a 15' or 17' high-resolution monitor, full keyboard, and touchpad.

The unit's innovative Slideaway design offers IT administrators flexible and space-saving functionality for their growing network environments.

The multi-platform support allows users to control Windows-based computers, Sun Solaris systems, Linux and Macs. Through cascading, the unit is capable of controlling up to 512 servers.
