The Spider is a distributed KVM (keyboard/video/mouse)-over-IP solution that provides secure, non-blocked BIOS-level control over geographically distributed servers. Available in USB and PS/2 models, Spider eliminates traditional CAT5 server-to-switch cable length limitations and requires no additional client software. About the size of a small chalkboard eraser, Spider provides flexible mounting options and can be attached directly to the back of the server, and is light enough to be cable supported. It takes virtually no space and can be powered from the server, eliminating the need for an external power supply. Featuring a unique dual-Ethernet port design and integrated Ethernet switch, the Spider allows multiple units to be cascaded, providing simple and cost-effective 'add-as-you-grow' scalability. Spider gives administrators 24/7 access to mission-critical servers in space and operating constrained environments or widely-distributed areas such as branch offices, test labs, campus and multi-floored facilities.
