The award-winning Black Box Emerald KVM-over-IP platform is an infinitely scalable universal access system, enabling users to connect to physical and virtual machines, with anywhere, anytime IP access over an existing IP network, WAN, or the Internet. Advanced security and a market-leading tiny bandwidth consumption streamline user access to local and distributed remote systems.

The Emerald DESKVUE receiver allows users to create a personalized workspace and simultaneously monitor/interact with up to 16 physical, virtual, and cloud-based systems. DESKVUE’s new AV WALL feature set adds a 2x2 video wall to the KVM system, simplifying setup and reducing equipment.

Control and monitor the entire system through Boxilla’s intuitive management dashboard.

Futureproof and Scalable KVM

Start with HD and add 4K at your own pace with full HD/4K video interoperability. Scale a small point-to-point extension up to an enterprise KVM matrix of unlimited endpoints by adding additional receivers/transmitters

Network Resilience

Unique to the Emerald system, there is no single point of failure. Emerald 4K and Emerald PE are configurable with redundant network paths via SFP(+) ports (fiber or copper) for fail-safe operation. Supports complete switchover to a backup control room

Enable multiple users to access any number of physical and virtual servers and desktops. Includes support for VMware® and Microsoft®, using PCoIP Ultra, PCoIP, RDP 8.1, and RemoteFX.

Emerald enables remote connections using existing IP infrastructure and reduces cost by using less bandwidth.

Active Directory and LDAPs enable secure access — all data flow is protected by end-to-end encryption. Extensive penetration testing is part of development. Boxilla® logs all events, provides immediate email alerts, and integrates with secure syslog.
