Workstation Extension

In today’s work environments there are many reasons why it is advantageous to physically separate or extend the user from the PC/Server. Separation may be used to enhance physical and data security, remove PCs from harsh or sensitive environments, or restrict access areas. Increasingly, IT managers ask if the workplace is the optimal location for the reliable operation, management and maintenance of the PC/server.

Many industrial workplaces are hazardous with dust, corrosive liquids and gases, extreme temperatures, vibration, etc. that are detrimental to the reliable and continuous operation of the PC. Other environments have restricted personal access such as operating theaters, laboratories, libraries, data centers, classified areas and more. Other real world examples of the separation requirement include professional work areas such as attorney offices, schools and lecture halls, point of sale positions, banking and trading environments, and waiting rooms where physical and data security and desktop workspace are a real issue.

Avocent is a longtime pioneer of extension technologies. The Avocent LongView® extension solutions enable you to separate users from computers with simple connect-and-go ease of installation. These intelligent product lines compensate for any performance degradation over the extension connection delivering an “at the PC” experience for the user.
