From Small Racks, Test Labs and Branch Offices to the Largest
Enterprise Deployments, It’s KVM over IP the Way It Should Be.
The Dominion KX II is an enterprise-class, secure, KVM-over-IP switch that provides
1, 2, 4 or 8 users remote BIOS-level control of 8 to 64 servers. It raises the bar in
KVM-over-IP technology with standard features such as virtual media, Absolute Mouse
Synchronization™, smart card/CAC, blade server support and dual power – available on
all models – that maximize performance, security, reliability and versatility.
Raritan’s Universal Virtual Media™lets administrators perform tasks such as installing
software, transferring files and backing up data. A user can mount drives and media
from the user’s desktop to servers in the data center during a KVM session.
The Dominion KX II also features Absolute Mouse Synchronization, which reduces
installation time and sets a new standard for mouse synchronization. Combined with highquality 1600 x 1200 video resolution, Virtual KVM Desktop™and virtual media features, it
provides the industry’s most flexible and responsive remote user experience available.
Our Virtual KVM Desktop allows users to scale a target server’s display to any size,
from thumbnails to full-screen video. Transparent keyboard handling sends virtually
every keystroke combination straight to the server, for a user experience that’s nearly
indistinguishable from an at-the-rack connection. Plus, it provides an intuitive user
experience – whether the target servers are being accessed locally or remotely – through
a common browser-based user interface. This interface supports the industry’s widest
range of operating systems and browsers.
The Dominion KX II is the only KVM switch that uses a certified FIPS 140-2
cryptographic module. And with dual power supplies and dual gigabit Ethernet ports,
both with automatic failover, the Dominion KX II is the most reliable digital KVM switch
in the industry.
Architecture
The Dominion KX II consists of the KVM-over-IP switch and
computer interface modules (CIMs).
Each CIM connects to individual and blade server KVM
ports and converts video signals for transmission of up to
150 feet over UTP (Cat5/5e/6) cabling. CIMs also provide
keep-alive keyboard/mouse emulation.
Dominion KX II provides KVM-over-IP remote access, local at-the-rack access and
optional modem access.
Remote users easily access Dominion KX II from Windows
desktops via a wide range of Web browsers. Raritan’s Windows or Java™based
remote client software is automatically downloaded via Web browser.
Dominion KX II provides its entire feature set out of the box: virtual media,
AES encryption, smart card/CAC, dual power supplies and dual gigabit Ethernet
ports with failover, SNMP, syslog, as well as integration with LDAP, RADIUS and
Active Directory®authentication.

Raises Productivity While Enhancing Security
Lowers Costs, Increases Productivity While
Reducing Mean-Time-to-Repair
Reduces expensive downtime by providing out-of-band
access in emergencies
Virtual media gives users virtual access to storage media
and enables them to exchange information between
remote users and target servers – through the KVM
connection – via the server’s USB port
Minimizes expensive and inconvenient travel to
remote locations
Common Web browser interface for remote and
local access
Optional remote power strips power on/off servers and
provide power statistics
Operates with select Paragon
At-the-rack and remote IP access to blade servers
KX2-864 and KX2-832 models have an extended local
port to extend beyond the rack or to a Paragon II switch
