LAS VEGAS, April 29—ATEN Technology, Inc., an innovator of high-quality KVM (keyboard/video/mouse) and remote connectivity products to centrally manage servers, network devices and IT infrastructure, today announced here at Interop Las Vegas that it will back its new product line of 2- and 4-port cable and desktop KVMs with the industry’s first 7-year warranty and FREE advance replacement. These units are targeted to consumer desktop environments, SOHOs (Small Office, Home Office), and SMBs.

“We envision a multitude of uses for these new 2- and 4-port cable and desktop KVMs that will keep them in service for many years. Since our products boast one of the industry’s lowest return rates, we are so confident in these new units that we are backing them with an unparalleled warranty and replacement program,” said Sampson Yang, CEO, ATEN Technology, Inc. “Offering the best cost/performance value, we are giving both channel partners and enterprises alike an array of KVM options that satisfy their specific needs—from the desktop to the server rack.”

Available now, the new cable and desktop KVM products are sold in both the channel and direct to end users and are priced affordably from $34.95 to $159.95. The new products include:

Below are sample scenarios depicting the use of these new units for use within a corporate environment:

— Use one computer for CPU-intensive tasks while working on a main computer
— Corporate users such as field sales force executives that may need access to both a laptop and desktop PC in the office
— System administrators can optimize these units for testing in a lab environment as well as using them in tandem with multiple operating system towers to replicate employee issues in the network
— Testing of applications on smaller servers before installation to the main server
— Configuration of servers before distributing them into the network environment
— Employees with multiple towers that serve different uses can use these new units to keep information separated on each PC
