Question What is a quality KVM that is rackmount(monitor, keyboard, and mouse)?

[Lil'John]

Title basically states it.

Computers are a PFSense box, a Windows Server box, and a Blue Iris box(coming up) The Blue Iris box won't be directly displaying any content.

I need a four to one KVM that is rack mount.

For monitor, I can directly do Display Port or DVI... by extension, I can easily do VGA(my current setup uses just a VGA KVM) HDMI isn't very easy. VGA is fine since I'm not doing any high res displaying.

For mouse and keyboard, USB is probably the easiest. So two USB ports would be great.

What do you recommend? Any brands to avoid?

I'm not familiar with KVM over IP so I'll have to look into this further.

But, how much "setup" is needed for the computers attached to it?

What Is a KVM over IP Switch?

KVM over IP switches are IP-based hardware devices that allow the interconnection and management of up to thousands of servers, making remote server access possible for all the KVM connected servers via in-band and out-of-band methods.
