USB and KVM Switches: The Rise of USB in the Data Center
Overview The past decade or so have seen the Universal Serial Bus (USB) grow from pipe dream into the de facto standard to power devices such as peripherals, portable memory devices, video game consoles, PDAs, and portable media players.
KVM (keyboard/video/mouse) switch manufacturers have not fully embraced the USB paradigm but are starting to understand its value within the data center as complementary peripherals start to play an expanded role. The key lies in the implementation and optimization of USB. This document explains the nature of USB connectivity and its role within KVM.
The overall outlook for USB KVM is very promising. With more than a billion USB PCs in the market and many times more in USB devices, the potential is limitless as there will continue to be many opportunities for both new designs and add-on products. Read this paper to understand this in-depth.
