8-Port KVM Over IP Switch

The Avocent AV3000 is an 8-port KVM over IP switch designed for administrators who need secure, remote control of multiple servers from a single console. It supports up to 16 servers in a cascaded configuration, making it suitable for small business and enterprise server rooms. The unit provides both local and remote user access simultaneously. It is built for rackmount deployment in standard IT environments.

Sustained Remote Management

The switch handles continuous remote sessions with virtual media support for out-of-band file transfers and OS patch deployments over extended periods. Two-factor authentication via smart card or CAC readers secures long-duration access without session degradation. AES encryption protects data integrity throughout sustained remote operations. Session sharing allows multiple administrators to collaborate on diagnostics without interrupting the primary user. Local USB peripheral support remains active during remote sessions for added flexibility.

Upgrade From Basic KVMs

This unit replaces analog KVM switches that lack IP connectivity, virtual media, or multi-factor authentication. The jump is worth it when teams require secure, browser-based access to servers from any location without dedicated VPN hardware. It also supersedes single-user remote access cards by supporting one remote and two local users concurrently. Organizations managing heterogeneous server fleets benefit from the consolidated console and LDAP integration.

Highlights

  • Manage up to 16 servers from one console
  • Two local users and one remote user supported
  • Virtual media enables out-of-band file transfers and OS patches
  • Smart card and CAC reader support for two-factor authentication
  • Session sharing allows multi-user diagnostics from anywhere
