OK, I've read the wiki entry but I still don't understand what KVM is, or why it's needed. The last time I visited a data center - every server rack came with a laptop-esque looking control unit. What problem does KVM comes to solve? What does this invention improve upon a traditional KVM?
This is not the invention of an IP KVM, those are old. This product just offers the functionality of an IP KVM for very little money.
It lets you remotely control a server as if you were sitting in front of a screen and keyboard directly attached to it.
Afaik this is for servers without a built-in KVM like e.g. self built servers or repurposed workstations.
