ECS offers Keyboard Video Mouse (KVM) switches that enable a single keyboard, monitor and mouse to access multiple PCs. ECS can provide KVM switches that support combinations of PS/2 and USB PCs, as well as share USB devices and speakers and a microphone between PCs. ECS even has DVI switches that allow for access to multiple DVI computers and can connect a USB keyboard, mouse and DVI monitor.

Today's government agencies face a serious challenge when it comes to ensuring the security of data at various classification levels. With restricted data residing on separate computers, accessing that data can be a major task. Even though you may have clearance to access data at multiple classification levels, you still must keep the data separate. Plus, switching among two or more computers at different classification levels introduces vulnerabilities to security as well as inefficiencies in productivity.

NIAP Certified Switchview SC KVMThat is why ECS sells and supports the Avocent NIAP-certified Avocent SwitchView SC KVM switching systems that are field-proven and secure for government agencies. Avocent's SwitchView SC KVM solutions allow you to switch safely between computers operating at different classification levels from a single switch, providing continuous access to critical data. With separate I/O processors and 60db separation between channels, the Avocent SwitchView SC switch design makes it impossible to transfer data between the connected computers, ensuring data security isn't compromised.

Avocent's SwitchView SC KVM switch products are National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) Common Criteria validated to EAL 4+ augmented with ALC_FLR.2, meeting the strict security compliance standards set by the government. NIAP is a collaboration of the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the National Security Agency. It oversees information technology security standards called Common Criteria - the essence of NIAP testing.

In many real-time desktop computing markets including Test Labs, Computer Designer Centers, Financial Traders and Command & Control Centers, users often need to access all their different computing resources from the desk, across a standard IP network without the need for a desktop computer while retaining a high quality user experience.

In an ideal solution the desktop administrator would have one solution that is acceptable to all different types of desktop users including the desktop PC users and high end workstation users, while giving all the benefits of a back racked model.

To achieve this ECS can replace each desktop computer with a zero client and consolidate all of the computing resources into a back room environment. The solution would then allow the desktop administrator to provision any type of computing resource to any desk based on user login and admin profiles. This would allow any user to login at any desk and get access to the computer that is available to them in the back room.
