University of Memphis: Expanding Network Opts for New Switch
12/30/2002
Full Speed Ahead
As its operations continue to grow in size and complexity, the University of
Memphis expects to expand its current KVM configuration, ordering another Paragon
to link the products together. Jackson plans to use the Paragon Computer Interface
Modules (CIMs), which provide seamless access to any server, independent of
the platform or connection. This will enable him to disconnect the server from
the KVM switch without rebooting the server to detect the keyboard/mouse.
Jackson has been able to decrease the cables in his racks, while also seeing significant improvements in the efficiency and effectiveness of his IT operations since installing Paragon.
For more information, contact Robert Jackson, Systems Administrator, University of Memphis, at rjax@memphis.edu.
