"The Spider isn't the first single-port IP KVM, but it is the first with a compact form-factor and distributed KVM approach. The module offers a good range of features needed to effectively manage mission-critical systems remotely. Despite its size it's a true distributed KVM solution that guarantees non-blocked access to servers at an extremely affordable cost-per-remote user. Being able to deliver this access and all the other features in such a tiny, server-powered package is a huge advantage over the traditional KVM switch. It's also very easy to install and manage, scales easily, and provides tough access controls and security."
