Extend your desktop any distance from the computer over a standard
TCP/IP network using HMX Desktop over IP solutions
Desktop over IP solutions are designed for desktop administrators who need to physically
separate the computer from the user in the work environment. Physical separation of
computer and user can be critical where security and/or environmental issues are major
concerns. The Avocent HMX desktop over IP solution provides the ideal solution for these
environments. The HMX system can be easily deployed over a Local Area Network, and
supports a comprehensive range of peripherals including DVI-I video, CD audio, USB mass
storage, keyboard & mouse. The HMX manager provides administration and connection
management control from a central location, enabling the desktop administrator to
effectively and effi ciently manage the desktop computing resource without compromising
the user experience.
Enhanced Security
In many modern organizations the competitive advantage, revenue and profi tability of the
organization is becoming increasingly dependant on the effi cient use of computing resources
and technology. In fact, more often than not, the revenue of a company may be directly
dependant on, or produced on the computing resource of the company. Protecting the data
and intellectual property of the company is crucial to the long term success of the company.
Most companies provide layers of logical security to protect the company against external
attack, but security breaches can happen from within the company. The HMX solution
physically separates the computer from the user, and enhances security by adding a physical
layer to the security system.
