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.
SmartAVI SM-DVN-8S
8 / 10 Expert Rating
A capable, affordable 8-port desktop KVM with a genuinely useful OSD menu, let down only by the lack of audio switching.
