As businesses are trying maintain their competitive edge in their particular industries, adopting to the latest technologies plays an important role in achieving overall efficiency of operations. One of the technologies that several businesses are now incorporating into their operations is the rack mount LCD monitors. These are now commonly used in several applications such as for military purposes, commercial usages and in the healthcare and hospitality industries, among many others.
What is a Rack Mount Monitor
A rack mount refers to a hardware device that is attached to a distinct rack or the real rack. Usually, it is being used by big companies in order to grip their routers, switches, network servers and other network devices. When we say a rack mount monitor, it is a display model that combines a monitor, a keyboard and a touchpad under one housing. The rack mount is designed so that your keyboard and LCD monitor are on a sliding rack, allowing you to move them out from your desk or over it.
Significant Features of a Rack Mount Monitor
Rack mount monitors are suitable in environments that are accident prone. They come in various sizes which offer 16.7 million colors, wide viewing angles, and fast response times. With the external control panel, users are able to adjust brightness, contrast, horizontal position, vertical position, etc. For optimal work space, its flip-up design allows the computer to be visible only when needed. You can also expect higher video resolutions with these type of monitors, from 1024 x 768 pixels to 1920 x 1200 pixels.
Between the display and bezel, there’s a watertight sealed gasket to protect the monitor’s electronics from dust, liquids or other debris. There might be glass or polycarbonate (impact resistant) overlay as well to protect the LCD display. For some manufacturers, they offer engineering services to their customers who want a customize device to meet their commercial, industrial or military requirements.
Benefits of Using a Rack Mount Monitor
For the last decade, there were already a lot of developments in computer hardware technology and these provide a huge difference in terms of productivity. The use of rack mount consoles and monitors brings the following advantages to any workplace:
A great way to save space
As already mentioned previously, a rack mount combines a group of systems. So, such devices do not need a different monitor to be plugged in and work along with various switches. As you can see, it will not occupy too much space in any work area.
Cost-effective
Along with the streamlining of the process that the KVM ensures, it is also cost-effective. Again, you don’t have to install multiple monitors, mouse, and keyboards with this. The typical requirement of 1 to 1 keyboards, mice and monitors is being eliminated with the use of this device.
Robust Design for Rugged Use
While it is designed for the use of the available rack mountable space, it also ensures stability whenever it may be put up. You can take advantage of its robust slide rails and rack mounting brackets. You can also adjust them in any other space. Whatever application you have it for, they are designed to endure rugged environments.
Provides convenience to any workplace
As it can save you a lot of space, you’ll then have a convenient and efficient workplace.
Added Security
Moreover, your confidential data is being protected with the IP security over the network. Take note that KVM drawers feature a 128 bit encryption for remote BIOS level access of target devices over the network. There’s a required username and password, which are presets with administrative rights.
