Next-Generation Hardware
Architecture
Dominion KX II is a true next-generation switch with an advanced
hardware and software architecture. This innovative design enables
new levels of KVM-over-IP performance, reliability, usability,
compatibility and security.
“Plug and Play” Appliance –
Quick and Easy Setup
Dominion KX II is a secure, Linux
®
-based hardware appliance. All
Dominion KX II features, including authentication and Web access,
are built into the unit and do not require the use of an additional
server.
High Performance, Next-
Generation Video Hardware with
HD Video Resolution and Digital
Audio
Dominion KX II’s KVM-over-IP engine uses Raritan’s next-
generation technology, providing users with virtual at-the-rack
performance. Next-generation features include ultra-fast screen
refresh, 1920x1080 high definition remote video resolution, digital
audio and advanced color calibration.
Dual Power Supplies with
Failover
For increased reliability and redundancy, all Dominion KX II models
have dual AC inputs, dual power supplies and automatic failover to
support redundant power distribution. If a power supply fails, the
customer will be notified via front panel LED, SNMP TRAP, log
message or via the administrative manager.
Four USB Ports for Keyboard,
Mouse and USB Media
The Dominion KX II has four USB 2.0 ports, three on the back panel
and one on the front panel, for local keyboard, mouse and USB
media.
Dual Gigabit Ethernet Ports with
Failover
Dominion KX II provides high availability with dual gigabit Ethernet
ports for redundancy. Should one Ethernet switch or interface card
fail, Dominion KX II will automatically failover to the other port and
continue operating.
Multiple Hardware Models
Multiple hardware models enable simultaneous access by one, two,
four or eight remote users to 8, 16, 32 or 64 servers. Raritan is the
first and only vendor to provide four and eight user, 64-port, digital
KVM switches.
1U or 2U Form Factor
The Dominion KX2-464 and KX2-864 are 2U solutions. Other
Dominion KX II models are only 1U in height. Dominion KX II is
extremely rack-efficient.
