[BBLISA] looking for production grade KVM switch recommendations

[stephen g. wadlow]

I find myself looking for some decent KVM switches.  Specifically, I need
some units for local use (1 user, at a single physical console) and a
couple for remote datacenter use (1 user at a single physical console, and
1-2 able to come in via IP.)  For the remote use, ability to screen switch
via a hot key is pretty much a requirement.  Typically, I'm looking at 16
port and 32-port options.

Belkin has always struck me as kind of clunky, and "just fine for
home user", but not something that I'd want for more serious work.


I've had good experiences with the NTI USB KVM, but the selection is
limited, and I'm not sure if USB suits my needs.  I like the look of the
Raritan Dominion DKX-216, but I haven't used them before, so I'm not sure
how the firsthand user experience is, especially for the KVM over IP side
of it.

Any experiences, comments or suggestions?
