What is a KM Switch?
|
|
There are many cases where one computer user needs to work simultaneously with few computers.
In some cases users are having multiple displays attached to these multiple computers.
The challenge is how a single user can interact with multiple computers having multiple displays.
KVMs would not do a good job for these users as they were designed to switch displays as well.
KM switch is a device that switches a single set of keyboard and mouse between multiple computers.
KM switch is essentially a KVM switch without the video switching - all displays are continuously connected to their computers.
|
|
What is a Secure KM Switch?
|
|
Secure KM switch is a KM switch device that specifically designed to enable isolation between coupled computers.
Computers are typically connected to different networks and isolation between these networks must be assured to prevent data leakages and intrusions across networks.
HSL Secure KM switch relies on physics (optical diodes) to prevent data leakages between coupled networks.
Secure KM switch does not require any cables between computers any shared bus or network or any installed software for basic configuration.
The K304x KM can also be used to securely filter and lock USB ports preventing data export / import through mass-storage devices by hardware.
HSL K304x series was designed to comply with
EAL 5 and it currently undergoing Common Criteria Evaluation to
EAL 4+.

HSL Virtual Display Technology (VDT)
|
|
|
Virtual Display Technology (VDT) is implemented in HSL K304 Secure KM switches to enable seamless cursor and keyboard switching between multiple displays.
VDT allows administrators to configure any desired displays configuration with same or different size and resolution.
User simply moves mouse cursor across
neighboring displays to switch between connected computers.
HSL VDT is now further enhanced with the inclusion of pointing device drivers to support dual, tripple and quad head computers.
With this technology user workstation may be integrated with any combination of single, dual, triple and quad head computers.
VDT Copnfigurator software enables the system administrator to easily configure any set of display sizes, resolutions, geometry and physical arrangements.

Virtual Display Technology
allows the K304 to switch automatically between computers once mouse cursor crosses display borders.
-
Highest security
by design
Designed by an
agency to support isolation between
national security networks. Common
Criteria
EAL
4+ approved (pending).
Derivative of a TEMPEST product used
in NATO nuclear submarines.
-
Support for dual-head and
up to 16- head
Product can be easily configured to support dual triple and
up to 16- head computers through
special software driver.
Single head installation does not need any software installation.
|
-
Unidirectional
optical data diodes
used to secure
USB peripherals isolation. Data can
flow from devices to host only. No reverse
data flow possible by physics. Can be
used between widest security gaps.
-
User authentication
device port
Special USB port
that supports CAC and other user authentication
devices including wide range of biometric
readers. User can decouple this port
from KM switching to remain authenticated
on one channel if needed.
-
Extensive administrator setup options
Administrator mode provides many customized settings from display arrangement,
size to cursor speed and acceleration.
