IHSE GmbH introduces a new product: Draco CON App

With IHSE’s Draco CON App, a new dimension of flexibility is introduced to KVM systems. The software-based KVM solution enables users to access an IHSE KVM network via IP protocol from a standard, network-connected PC!

What is a KVM system?
KVM matrix systems are hardware-based networks for interconnecting a keyboard, video, and mouse signal. Usually, a system like this consists of several specialized encoding and decoding units connected via a central matrix and a dedicated network. This enables a high-performing signal distribution in real-time.

Software-based KVM solution
Draco CON App is software that emulates the functions of a regular (physical) IHSE CON unit (decoder). Thereby it successfully replaces the CON hardware for deployment with maximum flexibility. Users only need an IP connection with sufficient bandwidth (at least 1G), low latency, and a suitable device, like a capable laptop or desktop PC, to access a regular KVM network in real-time.

Simple and Flexible
The main goal of the Draco CON App is to provide the most flexible access to KVM-connected devices as simple as possible. It utilizes the already available IT infrastructure, such as active network components like switches and routers, to achieve that. This enables effortless and flexible installations and additions to a proprietary KVM system without sacrificing its secure core of it.

Unmatched Flexibility and Performance
A major benefit is that customers of IHSE’s proprietary KVM solutions can flexibly expand their system with IP-based components. As a result, the serviceability, safety, and reliability of an IHSE KVM system are maintained. At the same time, the flexibility and simplicity of the transmission protocol over IP are incorporated into the system.
The Draco CON App offers maximum flexibility for existing and new customers and works with Windows®, Linux, and MacOS®.

Best of both worlds
The IHSE Group is on a successful path to becoming a well-rounded supplier of KVM, both proprietary and over-IP, offering customers systems that match their requirements perfectly and are unlike no other on the market. The new Draco CON App is an important step to offer “the best of both worlds” to all customers, connecting proprietary and IP-based switching homogenously.
