Product Overview

The Max-KVM MK-348 is an enterprise-class digital/analog Keyboard, Video, Mouse (KVM) solution that features an integrated firewall and an enhanced security suite with a state-of-the-art remote IP and analog 48-port KVM switch. By controlling up to 48 servers, providing superb quality video performance to the remote IP and analog users and combining a unique embedded firewall and security schemes, the Max-KVM MK-348 is the perfect KVM solution for demanding customers.

Hosting an industry record with 48 server ports in one compact 1U rack-mount box, the MK-348 improves scalability and modularity in multi-server environments and satisfies growing computing needs. Higher KVM switch scalability achieves an easy hardware expansion, simplifies administration and management and enables straightforward topology. The Max-KVM MK-348 provides all of these in addition to other scalability benefits such as saving costly space and power, easier maintenance, improved performance; lower per server investment and operation cost, and better investment protection.

The Max-KVM MK-348, a new and advanced design comprised of the best available components, delivers a superb quality video with a high update rate to provide a clear, high fidelity screen image. It supports nearly all computer screen options up to an industry record UXGA (1600X1200 pixels) to ensure that there is no practical limitation for connecting a server to the MK-348. Low intrinsic video delay and minimal latency in mouse commands result in tight local and remote mice synchronization, hence enabling a more realistic operation.

The integration of a firewall into a digital KVM, a unique feature of the MK-348, provides a new level of security for the control servers and the KVM switch itself. The encryption of video, control and management data ensures security and privacy over the network, while exposing only a single TCP/IP port for minimal vulnerability.

Supporting a wide set of authentication standards ensures safe, easy and flexible assimilation into the IT environment. Equipped with dual networks connections; the Max-KVM MK-348 provides enhanced security schemes, resiliency and flexibility.

To ensure simple and intuitive usage, the MK-348 offers a highly flexible and secure administration of servers, anywhere from a remote desktop and a web browser without the need for frequently problematic software installations. Additionally, maintaining other servers and administrating the KVM can be performed via the direct connection port or via an analog connection.

The secure, extensive high performance yet very efficient, intuitive and easy to use Java based Orion client run over Windows, Linux, Solaris, Mac OS or any other Java supported platform. Moreover, the Orion client does not need to be installed and so a secure access to any device connected to the MK-348 is simply achieved by simple IP connection through virtually any web browser. The Orion client enables the true freedom of accessing your organization resources from anywhere using any platform and operating system.

Unlike most other KVM switches, which oblige the customer to compromise and pick only part of their wish list, the Max-KVM MK-348 was designed to feature a secure, scalable and comprehensive architecture, remarkable hardware abilities and performance, efficient yet simple to use software, thus being extremely adaptive and able to answer all requirements. The Max-KVM MK-348 is the right KVM choice to meet enterprise and data center requirements.
