These small little handy-dandy devices seem to get more and more popular. Anyone here chipped in for a JetKVM yet? Looks and sounds pretty solid. Are there a lot of you that have aquired a nanoKVM?

OK, I’ve read the wiki entry but I still don’t understand what KVM is, or why it’s needed. The last time I visited a data center - every server rack came with a laptop-esque looking control unit. What problem does KVM comes to solve? What does this invention improve upon a traditional KVM?
It lets you remotely control a server as if you were sitting in front of a screen and keyboard directly attached to it.
Afaik this is for servers without a built-in KVM like e.g. self built servers or repurposed workstations.
First project created, only want $50k, delivery is basically as soon as the project ends.
I would be surprised if the backers of this project receive anything.
I’d be very surprised if this was some sort of sham. At least both Jeff Geerling and Raid Owl have posted about getting these; though like sent to them without them backing them directly.
I’m not saying it’s a scam necessarily, but the schedule and budget seem optimistic enough to make me question wether the folks running it have any prior experience with manufacturing.
Jeff Geerling and Craft Computing have recently reviewer these units on YouTube and they’re fairly optimistic about them.
Yes. I’m excited to try it out :)
