Black Box Announces Enhancements to Boxilla System
September 15 2017 - 9:04AM
Black Box, a leading technology solutions provider of
high-performance KVM, switching solutions, and professional AV
signal distribution and extension, today announced enhancements to
Boxilla, an enterprise-level KVM and AV/IT management system. A
core new feature of Boxilla 1.1 is the ability for DKM users to
seamlessly access both physical and virtual servers across an IP
network. Boxilla is an integral part of Black Box’s
robust services portfolio of end-to-end solutions for
mission-critical control room infrastructure, smart office
configurations and digital retail technology.
Originally launched in January 2017, Boxilla, which is designed
to support other Black Box products, offers a comprehensive and
centralized command center that manages and deploys
high-performance KVM. The platform was first integrated with
InvisaPC, Black Box’s IP-based KVM system, to give users a
virtualization solution that can scale to hundreds of users and
unlimited devices.
“After a successful integration with InvisaPC, the next phase of
Boxilla allows DKM systems to grow beyond private networks by
connecting across IP networks to access physical or virtual servers
in the same way the user accesses servers directly connected to DKM
today,” said John Hickey, senior director of KVM and ProAV at Black
Box. “Users will now be able to reach any server on their network
in an instant, which will greatly improve their operations across
the enterprise.”
Future enhancements to Boxilla will enable it to support other
premier Black Box products, including DCX, MediaCento, Coalesce and
ControlBridge.
Built for everything from conference rooms to 911 call centers,
Boxilla streamlines and automates communication between KVM devices
so that businesses can improve efficiency and performance. Some of
its key elements include:
- Centralized system management: Features a
real-time, user-friendly dashboard that manages authentication,
access control, accountability, troubleshooting and device
monitoring.
- Improved security: Detects potential breaches
and quickly identifies refused or unauthorized login attempts.
- Instant performance updates: Offers a snapshot
of the entire KVM system so users can immediately assess
performance, including bandwidth usage and device status.
Boxilla won its third consecutive Best of Show award in 2017 at
the June InfoComm conference in Orlando, Fla. It was also
recognized at ISE in February and at NAB in April.
“This is just the beginning of Boxilla’s capabilities,” said
Hickey. “We’re excited to see it continue to redefine KVM and AV/IT
system management across the industry.”
