Introduction
KVM.net II is a robust central management appliance that provides reliable and
secure management of KVM IP devices. KVM.net II integrates with Minicom IP
devices and Serial console server devices to facilitate an intuitively manageable,
centralized out-of-band access portal - designed to maintain all IT assets. KVM.net
II centralizes all user account information relevant for IP device administration
without interfering in the stand-alone survivability of each device.
