What is KVM over IP?
KVM over IP is a remote management technology that enables you to control a server or computer at the BIOS level without being physically present at the target system.
Also known as IP KVM or Remote KVM, it enables IT teams to manage machines even when the operating system is down or unresponsive.

How does KVM over IP work?
KVM over IP works by transmitting keyboard, video, and mouse signals from a target system across a network, allowing users to interact with the system remotely.
The device connects to the target system through HDMI, DisplayPort, or VGA for video and USB for keyboard and mouse. It then streams this input and output over the network to a remote user, using a web browser or client software.

Why not use software remote control?
Choosing between software and hardware remote control ultimately depends on your specific needs. Software solutions like TeamViewer or AnyDesk are ideal for day-to-day tasks where low latency is crucial and hardware-level access isn’t necessary. However, hardware options like KVM over IP are the better fit when you require greater control, access to pre-boot environments, or enhanced security.
Hardware solutions such as TinyPilot offer secure, reliable access to systems without the limitations and risks associated with software. Whether managing critical servers, troubleshooting BIOS-level issues, or protecting sensitive data, KVM over IP gives you the confidence to maintain control, no matter where you are. It’s an investment in reliability and security, making it the go-to solution for IT professionals who need more than just convenience.
