Access Your Virtualized World

With the introduction of the ADDERLink™ INFINITY 3000 (ALIF3000),
IT administrators can give users real-time access to unlimited virtual and
physical machines, directly from their own individual user workstation.

The ALIF3000 is ideally suited to meet the
demand for instant switching between unlimited
physical and virtual machines, driven by the rise
in hybrid IT environments. Using standard VDI
protocols, the ALIF3000 delivers real-time access
to legacy machines and virtualized applications
from a single human-machine interface (HMI) ­improving exibility, desktop ergonomics and
eciency.

The ALIF3000 delivers KVM and VM access without
requiring additional hardware or compromise on
KVM functionality. By incorporating VDI protocols
into the receiver, the ALIF3000 allows all operators to
access all machines in a more ecient way. Instead
of adding a new transmitter every time a user needs
access to a new virtual session, an administrator can
easily congure the management system to enable
permissions.

The Rise of Virtual Machine Access

Organizations are increasingly embracing
a hybrid approach to their IT deployment.
According to Forrester (2019), 88% of
businesses are now combining physical and

virtual IT environments.

In typical KVM environments, this growth is
being driven by popular software providers
who are now delivering their platforms in
both on-premise and virtualized formats.

The ALIF3000 has been designed to seamlessly
and securely integrate VM access into an existing
ADDERLink INFINITY network without disruption,
downtime or costly replacement fees. By utilizing
the trusted ADDERLink INFINITY Manager (AIM), IT
administrators can clearly dene user access rights
to ensure that target PC’s and virtual sessions can
only be accessed by permitted users - providing
peace of mind and ensuring security is optimized.

VIRTUAL MACHINES

KVM and Virtual Machine Access

As organizations continue to adopt hybrid IT strategies, administrators are looking for ways to
give users real-time access to both physical and virtual machines from a single HMI.

Typically, companies have used KVM to control their physical machines and a thin client to
access their virtualized servers but this requires additional hardware which can be costly and
detrimental to user eciency and workstation ergonomics.

The ALIF3000 is ideal for IT administrators as they look to streamline their hardware deployment,
improve HMI ergonomics and provide their users with instant switching between physical and
virtual machines.
