Ive had a good experience with Raritan for years when running the Paragon analog systems with dell, hp, ibm and cpq alphas. The old 16 port model attached to my workstation along with a few servers and test boxes has been also been flawless for years great. We had both Avocent and Raritan in a few moths ago for demos and everyone here thought Raritan was the winner by far

I've had one at home for 9 years now, and the ones that I've deployed at various organizations have been rock solid.

Need USB and PS2 connectivity. One local user and one IP user. Up to 32 servers. Don’t need serial or power control. I’d prefer cat5/6 cabling from the box to the servers to reduce cable clutter in the 2 racks. My biggest concern is good IP control. I’ve been burned once, bought a StarView box that added IP/VNC control to an existing KVM system and it was horrible. It would drop connections, screens weren’t clear and it was just no fun using it. So what brands/models would you recommend or not recommend?
