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+.

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.
