Black Box KVS4-8001VX Review
Black Box KVS4-8001VX secure DVI KVM switch NIAP certified single host
The DVI-input version of Black Box's certified secure KVM appliance, for legacy government hardware that needs the same NIAP PP4.0 certification and tamper-evident protection as the HDMI KVS4-8001HX.
NIAP Certification for Legacy DVI Hosts
Government facilities still running DVI equipment don't have to sacrifice certification: the KVS4-8001VX brings the same NIAP PP4.0 certified, tamper-evident single-host protection as its HDMI sibling to legacy DVI infrastructure.
Comparison to Alternatives
It's priced almost identically to the KVS4-8001HX, with the choice coming down entirely to source video format. Against Vertiv's SC940DVI-400, which handles four DVI hosts with NIAP-style isolation, the KVS4-8001VX is single-host but formally certified.
