Emerald Features & Benefits
Futureproof, scalable Emerald solutions help you build resilient networks with remote access to physical and virtual machines. Using extremely low bandwidth, Emerald delivers secure, pixel-perfect HD and 4K video. True USB emulation means its compatible with your USB devices, and a software-only KVM receiver enables access from your laptop. A Boxilla dashboard provides comprehensive management. |
Futureproof and Scalable KVM
Futureproof and Scalable KVM Start with HD and add 4K at your own pace with full HD/4K video interoperability. Scale a small point-to-point extension up to an enterprise KVM matrix of unlimited endpoints by adding additional receivers/transmitters.
Network Resilience
Unique to the Emerald system, there is no single point of failure. Emerald 4K and Emerald PE are configurable with redundant network paths via SFP(+) ports (fiber or copper) for fail-safe operation. Supports complete switchover to a backup control room.
Remote Access to Virtual Machines
Enable multiple users to access any number of physical and virtual servers and desktops. Includes support for VMware® and Microsoft®, using PCoIP Ultra, PCoIP, RDP 8.1, and RemoteFX.
