The Draco tera IP Gateway provides IHSE KVM users with the ability to bridge multiple KVM matrices over existing IP networks within buildings, across campuses and between remote corporate offices.
It combines the high levels of security and performance of the Draco tera KVM system with the flexibility and ease of connectivity inherent in IP-based network communication. It allows users to access remote computers and interact in real-time with minimal latency and no visible artefacts, with the full confidence of a highly secure KVM system.
In addition to the high level of data security of data transmitted throughout IHSE’s KVM switching and extension systems, Secure Core™ technology prevents direct access to the matrix from the IP network. This maintains the integrity of the KVM system and is consistent with the IHSE philosophy of secure separation of core matrix and IP networks as an effective countermeasure to potential cyber attacks.
The Draco tera IP Gateway combines the best of both worlds. Allowing secure, IP-routable site networking of direct KVM matrix systems without compromising operational flexibility, security or maintainability.
Draco tera IP Gateway enables KVM connectivity within buildings across an existing IP network infrastructure. Floor-to-floor KVM matrix connections can be established with a minimum of cabling.
With Draco tera IP Gateway, KVM systems in separate buildings within a campus site are easily and effectively interconnected. E.g. industrial parks, airports, universities, development facilities, etc. Users cross building thresholds and access computers on remote KVM networks.
For greater distance connectivity, Draco tera IP Gateway can link KVM systems over Wide Area Networks (WAN). Users are no longer restricted to their local KVM networks but enjoy greater access to corporate resources.
Draco tera IP Gateway operates over IP networks interconnecting cities with total security. It is possible to bridge KVM matrix systems in widespread office locations with real-time operation, making it ideal for fallback and standby operations.
Existing IHSE infrastructures can be expanded quickly and easily using standard IT infrastructure comprising active network components, switches, routers, layer 3 protocols etc.
Initial direct KVM systems can be further expanded as user requirements evolve to include direct and IP connected endpoints, providing future-proof flexibility and assurance to administrators and system designers.
Instant switching and connection between sources and users with negligible latency and artefacts for real-time performance.
Operation with total security and reliability for 24/7, mission-critical systems, over direct and IP links.
Further development of this innovative and flexible platform will enable remote access for applications such as home office and IT support applications.
With the Draco tera IP Gateway, separate Draco tera matrix installations can be easily interconnected to form a single homogeneous system deployed over standard IP network switches. Up to eight bidirectional IP network connections can be deployed per Draco IP Gateway allowing bidirectional KVM operation with video resolutions of up to 4K30* to other matrices.
Draco tera IP Gateway operates in parallel with the existing Matrix Grid. Matrix Grid utilises copper or fiber cabling to provide direct connection between multiple Draco tera switches, in situations in which suitable direct cabling can be provided and is preferred.
Direct point-to-point connections may be configured between a Draco tera matrix and up to eight receiver CON units via IP network connections (future option).
A modular KVM switch that delivers the ultimate in flexibility, back-up and redundant component options, scalability and future proofing. Ideal for mission-critical installations in which system down-time is unacceptable and failure is not an option.
