Dedicated server provider, Hivelocity  (http://www.hivelocity.net/), announced they are offering dedicated KVM-over-IP units to all of its dedicated server accounts.  Any server can be outfitted with a Lantronix SecureLinx Spider KVM for only $29 per month.  Hivelocity is currently promoting this new feature by allowing a dedicated KMV to be installed with $0 setup fee until April 15^th.  Once the promotion ends a standard $75 setup fee will apply.

KVM-over-IP (keyboard, video, mouse) enables a customer to have 24/7 virtual hands-on console access to their server.  KVM is great for anyone that wishes to maintain control of nearly every aspect of their server without having to involve anyone but themselves.  “Some people rely on our support team for everything, some people like the idea of relying only on themselves.  Allowing any server to have permanent KVM-over-IP access will satisfy those customers who crave 100% control of their server,” says Hivelocity’s General Manager Steve Eschweiler.

Each KVM unit is connected directly to the server and allows non-blocked access from any web browser, anywhere, at any time.  Without the need of any additional software, KVM-over-IP enables BIOS-level control of servers and allows up to 8 simultaneous users.
