Aten CL5708M KVM Console

ATEN CL5708M KVM Console | 17" Slideaway LCD for Server Management

Optimize your server room or data center with the ATEN CL5708M KVM Console, a masterfully engineered solution for efficient IT management. The CL5708 Slideaway™ LCD KVM Switch is a control unit that allows access to multiple computers from a single PS/2 or USB KVM (keyboard, video, and mouse) console. This device is the definitive choice for professionals seeking to reduce clutter, improve workflow, and enhance control over their network infrastructure. By integrating essential peripherals into a single, compact unit, the CL5708M provides a streamlined and powerful management experience.

A single CL5708 can control up to 8 computers directly, making it an ideal starting point for small to medium-sized server environments. For larger operations, its true power is unlocked through scalability. As many as 31 additional KVM switches can be daisy-chained to the CL5708, so that up to 256 computers can all be controlled from a single KVM console, providing a clear path for future expansion without requiring a complete overhaul of your control system.

The CL5708 offers a space-saving, streamlined approach to KVM switch technology by integrating a keyboard, 17´´ LED-backlit LCD monitor, and touchpad in a 1U rack-mountable sliding housing. This clever design allows the console to be neatly tucked away when not in use, freeing up valuable rack space and maintaining an organized, professional environment.

Key Benefits of the ATEN CL5708M
* Ultimate Space Efficiency: The all-in-one, 1U rack-mountable design saves critical space in server racks and cabinets. The slideaway housing ensures a minimal footprint, allowing for higher-density rack configurations and a cleaner, more accessible workspace.

Start by controlling up to 8 computers and expand by daisy-chaining additional switches to command up to 256 computers, all from one central console. This protects your initial investment and allows your control system to grow with your business.
* Versatile Connectivity and Compatibility: Featuring a Dual Interface, the CL5708M supports both PS/2 and USB connections for the console and the connected computers. This ensures broad compatibility across a wide range of legacy and modern servers and systems. Full multiplatform support includes Windows, Linux, Mac, and Sun environments.
* Simplified and Centralized Control: Streamline administrative tasks with powerful features like Broadcast Mode, which allows an administrator to send commands to all connected computers simultaneously.
