Hi there Matt,

It appears that the major question is if the server will keep power over USB during a reboot (or if the server build requires a reboot in the first place).

We’ve seen times where a loss of power to the KVM device will drop the remote CD connectivity, so the boot process has moved beyond the USB device by the time the Remote CD is functional again.

If a reboot isn’t required (especially for virtualized instances, etc) this has not been a problem.

Hi Aaron,

Thanks for the demo – this looks good.

Have you tried out the Virtual Media functionality. I’m particularly interested in how well using a local cdrom drive would work to build a remote server.

Thanks – Matt

KVM over IP doesn’t depend on a software component running on the remote server. This gives us the remote interaction with base level BIOS settings and monitoring of the entire booting process before during and after the operating system loads. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Hello Lami,

Yes, the Spider KVM is fully cross-browser compatible. As long as your browser accepts Java, the KVM will function correctly.

I received mixed opinions regarding the music… but it really grew on me. I had to leave it in there.

The background music in the video sounds like it is out of “Chariots of Fire.”
