With the central module ControlCenter-IP,

you can operate a larger number of computers from a greater number of workplaces. KVM-over-IP™ matrix systems assist you in managing complex IT infrastructures in a simple and intuitive way while leveraging the advantages of a flexible network. Especially in mission-critical environments such as control rooms, military command centers, data centers, or facilities for managing critical infrastructures, users benefit from this secure, reliable, and flexible solution for decentralized operation and administration. The ControlCenter-IP is integrated into the standard IP-based network along with KVM-over-IP™ end devices (computer modules, RemoteAccess-IP-CPUs, and console modules). While the central routing is handled via standard network switches, the ControlCenter-IP manages the mediation logic within the network, optimizes the accessibility of all devices, and enables switching to the connected computer modules.
