    Verdict

    Adder Technology 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.

    Rose Electronics Rose MPC-8U2V

    8 / 10 Expert Rating

    A strong local 8-port dual-head matrix switch; choose the MEC-8U2V instead if the console needs to be remote.
