ATEN MasterView 8-Port KVM Switch is just the tool you need to help reduce the need for redundant hardware. Eight monitors, mouse and keyboards are simply too expensive, bulky and down-right inconvenient for most system administrators. Why bother when you can control all eight, or even up to 512 computers with a single keyboard, monitor and mouse. Built-in AutoScan mode lets you conveniently monitor every attached computer for a specified amount of time, while our On Screen Display technology allows you to assign a unique name to each computer and access it via a slick, menu-driven interface.
