16-port KVM over IP OmniBus Gateway

with 16 remote concurrent users and fast virtual media over 10Gb fiber network

• Simultaneously shares 16 independent connections to the attached servers
• The intuitive WinClient AP’s support of an Array View and a Control View – enables users to monitor all servers and control a specific server concurrently
• Panel Array Mode™ Live+ – real-time monitoring of livestreamed video feeds from all ports in a configurable multiscreen layout
• High-grade security – supports TLS 1.3 and an embedded FIPS 140-2 certified OpenSSL cryptographic module (Certificate #4282)

KG0016 16-port KVM over IP OmniBus Gateway provides remote over IP access, allowing 16 users to access, monitor, and control up to 16 servers over a network.

With KG0016 independent remote connections, it ensures higher operation efficiency and optimizes the user experience by eliminating waiting time and bus sharing. This single management platform connects servers through a single secure portal, simplifying access and control for efficient administration.

With its all-digital KVM over IP architecture, KG0016 prevents video lagging and freezing, ensuring stable and smooth video display, particularly in long-distance extension application.

Equipped with dual on-board 10G NICs for redundancy, this series is built to guarantee reliability and availability of remote access to all servers.

The virtual media transmissions are faster than traditional KVM over IP switches, allowing for the completion of a 1GB file transmission in just one minute.

In conjunction with KVM DigiProcessors, KG0016 delivers superior video resolutions up to 1920×1200 @ 60Hz, for distances up to 328 feet (100 meters) over a single CAT-5e/6 cable.

KG0016 can be remotely accessed via WinClient AP or HTML5 WebClient* at a computer from a separate location for management and operation. The WinClient AP comes with complete KVM functions and provides users with continuous, reliable connections. It can help users to simultaneously monitor the status of all connected servers on Array View and control a specific server through Control View. For basic KVM functions, users can directly access and control one of the ports through the HTML5 WebClient by simply launching a client viewer from a browser, without the need for pre-installed software. Additionally, it allows users to easily separate the client viewer from the browser and drag it to a second monitor for control while monitoring the status of all ports on the port View from Web GUI.

This KVM over IP OmniBus Gateway allows out-of-band access to connected servers from remote computers via the management network for BIOS-level troubleshooting when the production network is down. It enables IT administrators to manage servers via management networks that are separated from the main / production networks. If there’s difficulty in accessing the servers through the production network, administrators can still access servers via KG0016.

To provide stringent security, KG0016 offers TLS 1.3 and an embedded FIPS 140-2 certified OpenSSL cryptographic module. Security features of KG0016 include 256-bit AES encryption for secured data transmissions, as well as RADIUS, LDAP, LDAPS, and MS Active Directory for 3rd-party authentication services.

Additional exclusive features of KG0016 include a Message Board, Panel Array Mode™ Live+, Mouse DynaSync™, and a front panel LCD display.

ATEN KVM over IP OmniBus Gateway saves users time and money by enabling administrators to manage their servers from virtually anywhere – minimizing travel and mean time to repair (MTTR) costs, ensuring the highest availability for data center services.

DigiKVM™ – KG0016 all-digital KVM over IP OmniBus Gateway champions digital transformation in spaces like server rooms and data centers. Through a secure portal, it offers centralized management and real-time remote server access. Regardless of the data signal type from the linked KVM DigiProcessor, all transmissions are digitized and protected, ensuring fast, clear video monitoring with remarkable visual accuracy.

The all-digital KVM over IP solution stands out for its robust security and versatile OS compatibility. It also presents a reliable way to manage remote IT access with out-of-band (OOBM) connection, especially when the in-band connectivity is compromised. For geographically spread businesses, it’s a boon, enabling IT to quickly reinstate services and minimize business downtime.

Accelerating Digitalization via Digital Twin Model
With the deployment of the KVM over IP OmniBus Gateway and the KVM DigiProcessors, equipment data collected in the production line can be monitored and processed in real time via a remote computer, preventing the need to constantly enter the production line or clean room for operations. This approach facilitates manufacturing digitalization via setting up a digital twin model to streamline and optimize production line processes.

Out-of-Band Management for Any Contingency
With the management network and production network separated, the KVM over IP OmniBus Gateway connected to the management network allows the IT operator to perform timely troubleshooting (e.g. software patches, image updates, reboots, etc.) and system maintenance over the servers via BIOS during the downtime of the production network. This approach can serve as an emergency measure in contingencies while keeping data and workflow secure from end to end.

All-Digital KVM over IP Transmission Safeguarded with Robust Security
The KVM over IP OmniBus Gateway, equipped with a proprietary OS in a closed system, provides a single secure portal to centralize BIOS-level connections to PCs / servers without requiring any extra software installation or configuration. All servers are remotely accessible via a Java-Free HTML5 WebClient Viewer or an advanced WinClient Viewer, delivering all-digital KVM over IP data transmission safeguarded with TLS 1.3 and FIPS140-2 level-1 certified encryption.

Real-Time and Concurrent Remote Access, Anywhere and Anytime
The All-digital KVM over IP OmniBus Gateway allows real-time, up to 16 concurrent remote user access to any connected servers regardless where and when the login takes place. Server connection can be extended up to 328 feet (100 m) away, delivering extraordinary Full-HD visual clarity and agile user experience with smooth keyboard-video-mouse synchronization.

Panel Array Mode™ Live+ for Multi-View Monitoring in Clarity
Real-time monitoring is effortless with Panel Array Mode™ Live+ where content of a dedicated server is displayed in 24-bit true color and up to 1920×1200 @ 60Hz in a control-view window, while the video from all servers is presented in a multi-view grid layout which is variable as needed (up to 4×4 with KG0016 or 4×8 with KG0032). The video feed in both the control and array views is livestreamed in extraordinary smoothness for optimized situational awareness.

Virtual Media Support for Prompt Server Updates
Mapping media to a remote server as though it were saved locally does the trick for timely troubleshooting, reducing travel cost and minimizing mean time to repair (MTTR). With a superb data transfer rate (i.e. Read: 265 Mbps, Write: 188 Mbps) proven to be 10 times faster than standard KVM over IP switches, performing firmware upgrades, diagnostic tests, file transfers, and installing software and application patches can all be accomplished smoothly and quickly from a single computer located anywhere.

Superior Hardware Performance to Reinforce System Reliability and Usability
The KVM over IP OmniBus Gateway is built in with 4x server-grade smart fan modules, facilitating all-around airflow efficiency for strengthened system reliability. When the system is idle or under light workload, the fan then runs in a low hum under 40 dBA.

In addition, the front panel pushbuttons can be used to perform timely troubleshooting with prompt device configuration and system reboot in contingencies, and also locked to secure system settings from unauthorized access.

Industry’s Most Compact KVM DigiProcessors to Maximize Rack Space Efficiency
KVM DigiProcessors (dongles), available in VGA, DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort connectivity, are 25% lighter in weight and ¼ the size of comparable products for optimized in-rack server connections. The anti-bending SR hanger allows for flexible yet stable in-rack installation, while the indented groove on both sides is intended to prevent the device from falling loose when tied onto the rack. In addition, the heat radiating fins are purposed to boost airflow efficiency to ensure system reliability.
