KVM Over IP is a hardware-based solution that enables remote access to the keyboard, video (screen), and mouse ports of a physical server. A unit plugs into these ports and transmits their signals to a connected user through a network. This allows access to the machine even if the installed OS is not working properly, and opens up possibilities for debugging and more.
The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller is the hardware allowing KVM Over IP and other management and monitoring features for Dell servers.
The Integrated Lights-Out card is the hardware allowing KVM Over IP and other management and monitoring features for HP servers.
An ISO file, also called ISO image, is an archive file that contains an identical copy of data usually stored on a physical optical disk, such as a CD or DVD. The name ISO file comes from the file system type used by optical media (typically ISO 9660). The ISO file can be distributed to be burned on a physical disc or can be read directly by most operating systems or KVM over IP devices to install an operating system on a remote machine.
