Adder Delivers Real-Time Control of Physical and Virtual Machines

New Product Brings VM Access to the Multi-Award Winning ADDERLink™ INFINITY Range

• Seamless and secure switching between virtual and physical machines
• Built on successful Intel®¹ X-86 architecture
• Dual-head video, audio and USB 2.0 over 1GbE
• Backwards compatibility with existing ADDERLink INFINITY range

Cambridge, United Kingdom (27/01/2020) – Adder Technology, a global leader in connectivity solutions and high performance IP KVM, today announced the latest addition to its highly successful ADDERLink™ INFINITY range, the ADDERLink INFINITY 3000 (ALIF3000). The new KVM receiver provides virtual machine (VM) access and delivers instant switching between unlimited virtual and physical environments, from a single human-machine interface (HMI).

The benefits of accessing virtualized environments via a single KVM are gaining momentum as organizations and software applications recognize the flexibility and growth opportunities. Yet whilst the adoption of virtualization is rising, many companies are still reluctant to move wholly away from physical machines*.

The ALIF3000 has been designed to seamlessly and securely integrate VM access into an existing ADDERLink INFINITY network without disruption, downtime or costly replacement fees. Built on the successful Intel® X-86 microprocessor architecture, the ALIF3000 delivers pixel-perfect picture quality, audio and USB 2.0 to single or dual screens over a single 1GbE link.

Adrian Dickens, CEO, Adder Technology, said, “It was important for us to ensure our customers can move to, and access, virtual environments at their own pace whilst preserving their initial KVM investment. The ALIF3000 enables exactly that, and has been developed to enable our customers to seamlessly add secure VM access into their existing workflows, at a time that is right for them, without enduring unnecessary costs.”

By integrating the ALIF3000 with the ADDERLink INFINITY Manager (AIM), IT administrators can clearly define secure user access rights to ensure that target PCs can only be accessed by permitted users - giving business owners peace of mind and assurance.
