The Digital KVM Switches also integrate with APC by Schneider Electric Switched Rack Power Distribution Units (PDU) for seamless power management.

APC by Schneider Electric KVM Switches help to meet customer needs for server access and administration in InfraStruXure deployments. They improve return on investment through centralised access to servers in data centres, computer rooms, and remote branch offices.
