Prima IP 8 is designed with a view to offer a cost-effective yet full-featured functionality under these scenarios.

The Prima IP 8 gives users total control over its total 8 server ports, from preboot stage such as the BIOS-level CMOS setting up to the GUI applications and daily maintenance routines such as power cycling (power control unit required). And all these could be nicely done either on local console or using a thin-client software viewer on any computer. All you need for accessing your computer remotely is to login, download the viewer, and get yourself connected to a whole bunch of servers in seconds.

Organizations can enjoy a centralized and cost-effective control over its dispersed servers in different branch offices around the world, saving money for outsourcing costs.

In addition to keyboard hotkeys and front-panel buttons, Prima IP 8 also provides OSD Menu for intuitive KVM switching operations. Its cascadable feature can upscale the server number to 120 by using PRIMA-4, PRIMA-8 or PRIMA-16 units. Both USB and PS/2 interface support on PC side offers maximum convenience in a computing environment that accommodates both newer USB-enabled computers and older computers with only PS/2 interfaces.

The Prima IP 8 not only provides remote user access, it also plays the role of KVM management. It manages the software version of all KVM switches connected in the daisy-chain, and upgrades automatically any KVM switches whose software is not the latest. It displays the KVM error and information messages into its server log. It permits to setup remotely the name of computers that are displayed in the OSD, and the local user name and password.
