CDW launched a lineup of rack-mountable laptop-style docks titled 'KVM Consoles.' These are compatible with mobile devices, PC computers, and laptops, and offer full remote control for the connected device. The KVM Consoles are equipped with built-in 1080p monitors, inlaid QWERTY keyboards, and trackpads. The various KVM Consoles come with different assortments of interface options such as USB connections, USB-C connections, control switches, and more.
The KVM Consoles are intended for server use and professional use, as they are durable, portable, and conveniently mountable. The KVM Consoles range from $1,125 USD for a simple no-frills setup, and increase incrementally up to $6,000 USD for fully-equipped consoles capable of managing large-scale servers. The laptop-style docks and server management consoles are available now from CDW.
