Franco Tavella, Product Manager for Black Box, "The ServReach KVM system represents the defining completion of the evolutionary path from circuit-based KVM switching to IP-based KVM packet switching A network technology that breaks up a message into small packets for transmission. Unlike circuit switching, which requires the establishment of a dedicated point-to-point connection, each packet in a packet-switched network contains a destination address. .
