Why We Rebuilt KVM Over IP From Scratch
When Frustration Leads to Innovation
As longtime users of PiKVM and other IP KVM switch solutions, we kept asking ourselves: "Why isn't there a KVM over IP device that actually makes our lives easier?" Every existing network KVM solution felt like a compromise - either too expensive, too limited, or simply inefficient for managing multiple servers.
That frustration became our motivation. If we couldn't find the perfect remote KVM over IP solution, we'd build it ourselves.
What Makes Our KVM Over IP Different?
1. It's Not Another Standalone Device - It's a USB Management Board
Here's the fundamental difference: our KVM over IP solution isn't a separate box sitting on your desk. It's a USB management board that plugs directly into your existing host device - whether that's your laptop, PC, mini PC, or server.
Think about it: with traditional IP KVM solutions like TinyPilot or PiKVM, you're essentially buying another computer for each server you want to manage. Each device needs its own power, network connection, configuration, and maintenance. You end up with a desk full of blinking boxes, each requiring separate web interfaces to access.
Our approach is completely different. The KVM over IP management board becomes part of your existing workflow, integrated directly into your primary workstation via USB connection.
2. True Scalability - Manage Up to 10 Devices From One Computer
Unlike traditional IP KVM solutions that require separate management interfaces for each server, our KVM over IP remote management board connects directly to your computer via USB. With our open-source software, you can manage up to 10 remote devices from a single control center.
Need more than 10? No problem. With USB hub expansion, there's theoretically no limit to how many devices you can manage. This is the most scalable remote KVM switch solution available today.
3. Unified Control Interface - No More Tab Switching Nightmare
Remember the days of opening 10 different browser tabs to manage 10 different servers with traditional KVM server solutions? Those days are over.
Our software creates one unified dashboard where you can seamlessly switch between all your connected devices. The included mini monitor automatically displays key information (memory size, hostname, IP address, and current time) for your active device - though you can customize it to show whatever data matters most to your workflow.
4. Direct Connection = Maximum Security and Speed
This isn't your typical ethernet over power or network-dependent solution. Our USB KVM connects directly to your computer, giving you complete control over your data and privacy. No cloud dependencies, no third-party servers - just direct, secure access to your remote systems.
The upload speeds are remarkably fast, and you maintain full control over your data security protocols.
5. Honest Pricing That Won't Break Your Budget
Let's be real - most KVM over IP software and hardware solutions are overpriced for what they deliver. At $219.99, our solution costs a fraction of comparable enterprise IP KVM extender systems, and we offer wholesale pricing for bulk orders.
You also get lifetime software updates and technical support from our European and Chinese development teams. That's not just a purchase - it's a partnership.
What We're Still Working On
We believe in transparency. Our KVM over IP solution isn't the prettiest device you'll ever see. We're a technology team that prioritized efficiency and functionality over aesthetics.
The good news? We've been using this system internally for months, and it's proven incredibly stable and reliable. While we continue improving the design (especially the external appearance), the core functionality is solid and ready for production use.
Perfect For Teams Managing Multiple Servers
If you're managing multiple bare metal servers, dealing with dual monitor KVM setups, or need reliable remote KVM over IP access across different locations, this solution was built with your challenges in mind.
Whether you need HDMI over IP capabilities, USB to IP functionality, or simply want to streamline your KVM switching workflow, our system handles it all from one interface.
Ready to Simplify Your Server Management?
After nearly two years of development and months of real-world testing, we're confident this is the most efficient and cost-effective KVM over IP solution available. It's not perfect yet, but it's already better than anything else we've found on the market.
Our open-source approach means you're not locked into our ecosystem - you can modify, customize, and extend the functionality to meet your specific needs.
