- hugs 3y agoIt can... but this goes one level lower to the hardware layer... so that you can do things like reboot the computer and view/edit BIOS settings (since you're viewing the same raw HDMI signal that would otherwise show up on a real monitor display). You wouldn't be able view the BIOS with Remote Desktop or VNC because those are not available until after the operating system has launched.
- numpad0 3y agoIP-KVMs are more useful for fixing remote access without physically interacting servers. In cases where a server is stuck in BIOS, BSoD, wrong IP configured, just waiting for a RETURN key input, etc. and not responding to RDP/VNC/SSH, an operator can log into KVM to unstuck it.
