SOMERSET, N.J., Oct. 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Raritan® — a
brand of Legrand®, and a leading provider of intelligent data
center management and rack power distribution solutions — is the
leading provider of KVM-over-IP switches with a 23 percent
global market share based on revenue, according to IHS Markit |
Technology, now a part of Informa Tech*.
IHS Markit | Technology attributes advancements in remote access
and management capabilities for the popularity of KVM-over-IP
switches. "KVM-over-IP switches have seen great improvements
in speed, performance, security, and functionality since their
invention," said Alastair Smith,
senior analyst for manufacturing technology at IHS Markit |
Technology. "The resolutions in many cases can match those of
analog switches and many manufacturers have added stronger forms of
encryption to improve the security."
"Some end-users value remote access because it
means that fewer people have to enter the whitespace and do so less
often, theoretically decreasing the chances of accidents,"
continued Smith. "Remote access is also a compelling solution
in countries where labor rates are higher and in applications with
many remote locations or branch offices. For example, a
retail chain that has multiple stores can have one IT person
managing the IT gear of all those stores remotely from one
location, instead of hiring an IT person for each store."
Raritan -- which invented the
first KVM switch and pioneered many KVM-over-IP
firsts -- recently introduced its fourth-generation
Dominion® KVM-over-IP switch with video resolutions up to
4K.
"Not only are there more Raritan KVM-over-IP switches at work
supporting the demanding requirements and applications of today's
data centers, labs, control rooms, broadcast studios, and branch
offices, but we also offer the largest KVM-over-IP product
portfolio," says Richard Dominach,
Director of Product Management at Raritan. "For more
than three decades our talented engineers have listened to and
collaborated with customers to create easy-to-use products that
deliver reliable and fast remote access to equipment and protect
assets with multiple layers of advanced security."
