The Vertiv Avocent HMX 6500R (HMX6500R-400) is an IP-based KVM receiver for professionals who need to access physical and virtual machines from one workstation, with video, audio, and USB 2.0 over a 1GbE link. It supports dual displays for physical machines or a single display for virtual machines.
Recommended For
- Broadcast and control-room operators who need to work at a desk while accessing physical production machines located elsewhere over an HMX system.
- IT teams in enterprise or institutional environments that need a managed workstation to switch between HMX-connected physical machines and supported RDP virtual machines.
- Organizations that need to separate the operator’s desk from computer hardware while retaining local keyboard, mouse, display, and audio access through a configured KVM-over-IP network.
- Users who need one high-resolution display for virtual-machine access or dual displays for physical machines, and whose workflow fits that distinction.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- In a broadcast or post-production room, an operator switches from a physical production workstation to an authorized virtual machine at the same console, reducing the need to move between separate desks.
- In a control room, staff use one workstation to reach authorized physical systems and virtual machines; switching from the console can simplify access to the equipment they need to monitor or operate.
- For IT teams managing a mix of physical computers and virtual desktops, the receiver brings both into a single console workflow, so staff can switch targets without adding a separate transmitter for each virtual session.
- Where computers need to stay in a secured or conditioned equipment area, staff can operate supported systems from a separate workstation, keeping routine keyboard, video, and mouse access away from the machines themselves.
- In an existing Avocent HMX installation, an organization can add access to supported virtual machines at a receiver while keeping its physical-machine KVM workflow, subject to network setup, permissions, and licensing.
