That’s quite alright, Richard – this is one of those areas where I’m certainly no expert, and so it’s good to have feedback from people who know more!

[quote comment="17461"]Yes, perhaps I should’ve been more specific – I was talking about low-end KVM devices that have, in my experience and that of people I know, been occassionally prone to errors in switching. I’m sure the people who use KVM technology in mission-critical applications don’t rely on bargain-basement devices; or am I wrong?[quote]

[quote comment="17457"]“I’m sure there are people out there reading this who have held off from buying a KVM switch because, frankly, they’re a bit dodgy.”

I would suggest that the author of this statement has very little exposure or understanding of the KVM market place. It is similar to saying “I used a PC once, it crashed. All PCs are rubbish.” Not exactly an informed opinion.

I would welcome the opportunity to disprove this assertion, which is very easy to do. I would suggest that people who use KVM switches, KVM via IP and KVM extenders in mission critical applications maybe a little shocked to hear that “they’re a bit dodgy”. Emergency services, radio stations and bank data centres rely on this technology all day, every day.

i dont think you can compare professional grade KVM and home user and put them into the same category
