KVM Switch

Keyboard, Video, Mouse. Abbreviated to KVM.

Since last three weeks ago, when i went into the server room at my co., i thought i saw a magical monitor (but it was actually a KVM, not monitor) that could switch displays of different computers in one key press. And i was like, 'Uh what is this? How can it work this smart. Waah kagum.' :D I was curious on how it actually works since, but did not get a chance to ask and know what it exactly was.

However, yesterday, surprisingly i got the opportunity to see, touch and actually play with KVM switch when my boss told me to try setting up the device to connect few servers in our unit room. So basically KVM switch is used to control multiple computers/servers from one or more, keyboard, monitor and mouse. :) On the switch, you have the buttons to change the display of the computers you desire. So you no longer have to connect and reconnect different servers to a monitor, keyboard and mouse each time you want to use them.

Nice. :D
