Secure KVM Solutions
For Your Multi-Classifi cation Applications
Secure KVM Switching Solutions for Your Multi-Classifi cation Applications
Understanding the requirements of a multi-classifi cation
environment is essential in providing the right solution.
Avocent KVM secure switching solutions are custom
designed to support multi-classifi cation secure
applications. Your data will not be compromised.
You can safely switch between as many as eight computers
operating at different classifi cation levels, all from one
keyboard, monitor and mouse. The Avocent SwitchView®
SC KVM switches have been approved under National
Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) Common
Criteria to EAL 4+.
Secure Desktop Switching Applications
SwitchView SC switches
U.S. Navy Photo
Requirement:
and up to two monitors. Each workstation has a different security classifi cation and matching network connection (unclassifi ed,
secret, etc.).
A government analyst with multiple workstations needs to consolidate the workstations with a keyboard, mouse
Avocent Solution: The NIAP certifi ed SwitchView SC switch technology makes it impossible to transfer data between the
connected computers. Separate I/O processors control KVM switching and access to computers – an important factor for a user
who may access secure and non-secure networks from one point of contact.
In this application diagram, the SwitchView SC
1x8 switch is connected to unsecure and secure
workstations. To achieve the highest level of secure
confi guration, only workstations with the same
security classifi cation should be connected to
each of the SwitchView SC 1x8 switch port’s four
secure channels. The SwitchView SC 1x4 KVM
switch has two secure channels. Both switches
support PS/2 peripherals and VGA video.
Secure Desktop Switching for USB Applications
The SwitchView SC4 UAD KVM switch
Requirement:
A government analyst needs secure support for multiple workstations that support USB-only applications, DVI-I
video, speakers and a microphone.
Avocent Solution: The SwitchView SC4 UAD KVM switch includes four fully secure channels isolated to 60dB. The switch
supports USB peripherals (keyboard and mouse only), audio peripherals and DVI-I video for resolution up to 1920x1200 @ 60Hz.
The SwitchView SC4 UAD switch supports DVI-I video interfaces for
analog or digital applications, USB keyboard and mouse peripherals,
and audio peripherals as shown in this application diagram.

Secure Desktop Switching for High Resolution Applications
The SwitchView SC8 DVI KVM Switch
Requirement:
A government analyst with
multiple high resolution dual DVI video workstations
needs to consolidate the workstations with a
keyboard, mouse and two monitors.
Avocent Solution: The NIAP certifi ed
SwitchView SC8 DVI KVM switch includes eight
fully secure channels isolated to 60dB. Each
channel supports dual-head, dual-link DVI-I video
connections and provides the highest video
resolution available in a secure KVM switch:
2560x1600 @ 60Hz.

Secure Desktop Switching for DoDIIS Trusted Workstation Applications
The SwitchView SC4 UAD KVM Switch
Requirement:
consolidate a DoDIIS Trusted Workstation (DTW)
and a separate unsecure workstation with one
keyboard, mouse and monitor. The DTW consists
of a Sun® Microsystems Trusted SolarisTM Server
running the Sun RayTM Session Server software
and delivers the user applications to the desktop
through a Sun Ray Ultra-Thin Client. The DTW gives
the analyst access to multiple secure networks
(data, home directories, applications) of varying
classifi cations from a single desktop and is a client/
server-based architecture.
A government analyst needs to
Avocent Solution: The SwitchView SC4 UAD
KVM switch includes four fully secure channels
isolated to 60dB. Each channel supports USB
peripherals (keyboard and mouse only), DVI-I
video for resolution up to 1920x1200 @ 60Hz and
audio peripherals.
In this diagram, the SwitchView SC4 UAD switch supports
the DoDIIS Trusted Workstation and the secondary unsecure
workstation with a DVI-I interface, USB keyboard and mouse, and
audio peripherals.
Secure Matrix Switching Applications
The SwitchView SC Switch and AMX
Matrix Switch
Requirement: A government analyst requires
access to multiple targets within the same
classifi cation network and access to multiple
target devices that are connected to different
classifi cation networks. This application also allows
target devices to be located in a secure data
center or multiple data centers where the various
classifi cation networks can be kept separate.
Avocent Solution: The SwitchView SC
switching system combined with the Avocent
AMX® matrix switch provides you with secure
access to three separate networks of varying
classifi cation levels. Each network user will have
three AMX user stations at the desktop connected
with a SwitchView SC switch to ensure data
integrity between the networks.
Secure Back-Racking Applications
The SwitchView SC Switch and
LongView Extender
Requirement: A government agency requires an
extra layer of security by removing the user’s physical
access to the workstations.
Avocent Solution: The SwitchView SC
switches combined with Avocent LongView®
Extenders allow a user to sit at their desktop and
access back-racked computers.
