Designing an RMI with 64 User Consoles and 1024 Servers from basic
KVM Switches requires a different view of the components and how
they are connected. This Technology White Paper details
innovation behind the
Three Tier Deployment Technique developed by TRON in the 1990's for the
Cybex 4xP and
Raritan Paragon KVM Switches.
The TRON Matrix is adaptable, scalable and redundant.
For years,
KVM Switches (KVMS) claimed to support more than eight
thousand servers on the same analog
KVM Network Infrastructure. But installation manual topologies
reached contention with less than a few hundred servers. Meaning
user accessibility diminished in lower tiers of the KVM Switch System.
Contention, also called Blocking is the result of Limited
Access Designs where fewer User Consoles can connect to Computers
deeper in the hierarchy. TRON Three Tier Topologies provide
Open Access to more than the original 8/16 (maximum number of users)
per 8x32/16x64 KVM Switch Matrix. Open Access designs support
over 250 user workstations with consistent User Access Ratio's to
over 10,000 servers.
The TRON Matrix can also Segment User Access to smaller pieces
of the entire Remote Management Infrastructure. Segmentation can
provide super access, monitor activity, feed external media and conference rooms or
increase security by physically isolating server access to users and groups.
Adding Digital KVM
devices offers concurrent and/or shared
Real-Time Access w/High Resolution Video and the convenience of remote KVM access.
The following pages detail the TRON Matrix with a Three Tier Topology based
on KVM Switches. The topology can be adapted in size, by the type of switches
(ie: video, balanced audio, etc.), type of input devices (ie: computer video,
camera's, DVD player, etc.) and output devices (ie: monitors,
TVs, projectors, speakers, etc.).
