Dominion KX II Overview
Dominion KX II is an enterprise-class, secure, digital KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) switch
that provides BIOS-level (and up) access, and control of up to 64 servers from anywhere in the
world via Web browser. At the rack, Dominion KX II provides BIOS-level control of up to 64
servers and other IT devices from a single keyboard, monitor, and mouse. The integrated remote
access capabilities of the Dominion KX II provide the same levels of control of your servers via
Web browser.
Dominion KX II is easily installed using standard UTP (Cat 5/5e/6) cabling. Its advanced features
include virtual media, 128-bit encryption, dual power supplies, remote power control, dual
Ethernet, LDAP, RADIUS, Active Directory, Syslog integration, and Web management. These
features enable you to deliver higher uptime, better productivity, and bulletproof security – at any
time from anywhere.
Dominion KX II products can operate as standalone appliances and do not rely on a central
management device. For larger data centers and enterprises, numerous Dominion KX II units
(along with Dominion SX units for remote serial console access and Dominion KSX for
remote/branch office management) can be integrated into a
single logical solution using Raritan’s
CommandCenter Secure Gateway (CC-SG) management appliance.
