VIRTUAL MEDIA

Raritan, Inc. Slide 8

Virtual Media – How does it work?Virtual Media – How does it work?

During a KVM connection, user requests a virtual media connection to a CD drive

The KX II creates a “virtual connection” between the CD drive to a “virtual drive” on the target server

The “virtual drive” is mounted on the target server through the server’s USB port

The CD drive appears on the target server as a USB connected drive

The user can use the “virtual drive” from the server’s OS
