KVM Applications and System Design Beyond the Data Center


High-Performance KVM

A KVM switch (with KVM being an abbreviation for "keyboard, video and mouse") is a hardware device that allows a user to control multiple Computers from one or more Keyboard, Video and Mouse

Modern digital extension and switching technology emphasizes the movement from  analog to digital video, and also away from fixed-user-to-computer KVM switching toward nearly freely scalable matrices (matrix switching). 

These new proprietary (using CATx or Fiber optic cables) and IP-based digital technologies offer real-time solutions — no delay, no skew. Along with extending digital video, these applications extend keyboard and mouse, digital or analog audio, serial, and USB.

Additionally, the designs that apply to the technologies outlined provide a quieter workplace and remove excess heat from the area by placing computers in low-dust, climate-controlled equipment rooms without sacrificing video quality, picture resolution, or real-time switching of peripherals
server maintenance, software updates, and network administration become centralized, plus time and cost associated with support is reduced.

Once considered a technology only for the data center, KVM solutions have advanced and expanded significantly over the years such that applications for KVM are now almost endless. This presentation covers applications for KVM technology, from desktop switching to advanced, high-performance matrix switching systems, with an emphasis on case studies that identify the best solutions for specific scenarios. In this webinar, you’ll:


  • acquire a high-level understanding of the KVM technology solutions spectrum.
  • Understand the thought process behind selecting a KVM technology for a specific application scenario.
  • Understand the return-on-investment benefits that KVM solutions can provide.

Data Security in Payment Card Industry


What is PCI DSS


Developed by the major credit card issuers, the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) outlines best practices for credit card data,storage, processing, and transmission. Its intent is to protect credit card information from fraud, theft, or any other breach

Requirements of PCI DSS


  • Build and maintain a secure network.
  • Protect cardholder data.
  • Maintain a vulnerability management program.
  • Implement strong access control measures.
  • Regularly monitor and test networks.
  • Maintain an information security policy.

How does EncrypTight™ Help You Comply with PCI DSS


       EncrypTight enables secure data transmissions, which assures the confidentiality, authenticity, and integrity of data as it travels across anynetwork, regardless of size, type, or topology. You’ll get encryption and authentication of all data, including cardholder information. Acting as a cryptographic firewall that rejects any packets lacking the proper authentication, EncrypTight ensures access to data is limited to those who need to see it. By protecting the network and the data, EncrypTight helps you comply with PCI DSS

PCI Requirement VS How EncrypTight helps you with compliance


Scope of PCI assessment may include the entire network


  • Avoid major network changes by overlaying encryption on top of the existing network.
  • Strong cryptography and simple policies isolate the Cardholder Data Environment (CDE) from the rest of the network.
  • Get stronger security through encryption rather than firewall-based approaches. The network is isolated using encryption rather than relying only on packet headers.
  • Secure data without changing the physical or logical network topology.
  • Simplify by encrypting among network segments that store, process, or transmit cardholder data.
  • Save money during PCI assessments by reducing the scope of the assessments.
  • Setup and management is simplified with GUI-based policies that allowthe network headers to pass in the clear while encrypting the payload.

Use strong cryptography and security protocols to safeguard sensitive cardholder data during transmission over open, public networks


  • Quickly and simply encrypt card-holder data and other sensitive information across any network without affecting the applications and services that run over the network.
  • Encrypt data as it traverses a third-party service provider network or the Internet.
  • EncrypTight is an easy, drop-in solution that works with existing network and applications.
  • Doesn't affect existing failover, redundancy and load-sharing.

Track and monitor all access to network resources and cardholder data


  • Provide a full audit trail for logging and auditing.
  • Role-based access enables an auditor to monitor security.
  • Auditing and monitoring can be easily outsourced to a third party
