Adder Technology Adder ALIF1104T vs ATEN KN1116VA: which one fits your build
Buy the Adder Technology Adder ALIF1104T for enterprise IP KVM matrix deployments across many rooms and HDMI workstations needing centralized network-routed access, though it is not the pick for small single-room point-to-point extension needs and DisplayPort or 4K/5K workstation resolutions. The ATEN KN1116VA is the one to take for teams with one remote admin at a time and remote OS recovery with virtual media, though it is the wrong buy for home office use and racks of eight servers or fewer. The same goes for racks of nine to sixteen servers with A and B power feeds. Avoid it for teams needing two or more remote admins on different servers at once. Our rating of the Adder Technology Adder ALIF1104T (8/10): A strong HDMI-based enterprise IP KVM transmitter for buyers already invested in the ADDERLink Infinity ecosystem. Our rating of the ATEN KN1116VA (8.4/10): A larger-capacity, power-redundant IP KVM switch well suited to tier III/IV data centers scaling past 8 ports without sacrificing uptime resilience.
