Hot Topics in the IP KVM World

Security remains a central concern in the IP KVM industry. With systems connected over networks, protecting data is paramount. Adder’s ADDERLink® INFINITY range employs AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption to safeguard data during transmission to connected systems.

Additionally, the ADDERLink® INFINITY Manager (AIM) offers centralized control over the ADDERLink IFINITY range. AIM enhances both functionality and security, offering several features.

• Centralized Management: Administrators can oversee the entire network, facilitating efficient monitoring and configuration across multiple locations.
• User Access Control: Specific user profiles and set permissions ensure that only authorized personnel can access critical systems.
• Multi-layered Security: AIM supports AES-256-bit encryption and RSA 2048-bit public key authentication, providing secure communication between endpoints and the management system.
• Redundancy Pathways: If one AIM fails, another can seamlessly take over, preventing any downtime.
