Verdict

Adder AdderLink IPEPS

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A focused, affordable way to get true remote BIOS-level access to one critical server without a full IP KVM matrix.

IOGEAR GCE500U USB/VGA KVM Console Extender

7.8 / 10 Expert Rating

A solid, purpose-built point-to-point console extender; not a substitute for an actual multi-computer KVM switch.
