Black Box Emerald EMS1G48 48-Port Gigabit Managed Network Switch

Black Box EMS1G48 Overview

Designed to complement the Black Box Emerald HD/4K KVM system, the Emerald EMS1G48 48-Port Gigabit Managed Network Switch offers your business reliable, scalable performance. In addition to featuring 48 Gigabit-speed Ethernet ports, four SFP+ slots are available for up to 10 Gb/s fiber uplink connections. Simply adding more endpoints allows you to quickly expand your network to meet growing needs.

Reliable Design

48 Gigabit Ethernet ports ensure trouble-free KVM over IP extension and matrix switching connections with a 260 Gb/s switching capacity and 131 Mpps forwarding rate.

Digital Video

The Emerald KVM platform supports clear, crisp 4K DisplayPort video at 60 Hz over standard IP network switches. Image transmission with mathematical lossless compression visualizes every pixel at up to 60 fps with a 10-bit color depth.

Virtualization

More physical servers are being replaced by virtualization, allowing better performance, availability, scalability, and return on investment. Emerald simplifies access to both physical and virtual servers with virtual machine support for VMware, Microsoft, and Citrix, using RDP 8.1, RemoteFX, PCoIP, and others.

Management

Emerald supports two ways to manage the system: locally via the receiver s OSD or the Boxilla central KVM manager. Emerald, in combination with Boxilla, enables timesaving, controllable presets, and multi-user settings. Monitor network usage, define user access rights, and set up automated intrusion alerts. You can also pool designated CPU resources, allowing for user selection by type of server/PC/desktop rather than by individual dedicated resource. Even more important, you can prepare for instantaneous recovery from disasters with one-click access to an entire backup control room in a different location. The KVM main control room configuration can be replicated anywhere you have a network connection.
