European distributors predict growing KVM IP management market at Minicom's KVM.net training seminar

Minicom, a leading provider of Out-Of-Band (OOB) server management solutions for the data center, launched its KVM IP training program in Europe last month.


The seminar was designed to give hands-on experience of Minicom's remote access management solution, KVM.net, to key partners and distributors. The enthusiastic turn out of Europe's largest KVM distributors and key partners confirmed that management of IP access to the KVM network is a high growth segment of the KVM market.


"IT spending on remote access solutions for the data center is the next "big thing". More and more businesses are upgrading their legacy KVM infrastructure with remote access capabilities. The result is a growing demand for systems capable of managing access to the KVM network," says Ronni Guggenheim, President of Minicom Europe.


KVM.net centralizes management of IP access to the KVM network. It is designed for businesses with large numbers of servers and network devices, including 3rd party switches and legacy KVM infrastructure.


KVM.net provides IT users and administrators a single point of access and management with a unified, graphical view of their KVM infrastructure, even if the KVM network is distributed across a number of remote branches - users log on to a single IP address which routes them to their assigned targets.


KVM.net is part of a comprehensive strategy to ensure continuous uptime. For more information on Minicom's IP solutions for the KVM network, see the Minicom web site: www.minicom.com.
