About Avocent
'Avocent is the leading worldwide supplier of equipment that helps data center operators manage their ever-expanding
server farms. Operators are provided real-time access to any of their
computers over the Internet from anywhere in the world, all without requiring
any special hardware or software on those computers. Avocent was formed in 2000 from the merger of the world’s two largest
KVM (keyboard, video and mouse) switch manufacturers: Apex and Cybex
Computer Products Corporation. Today, with more than two decades of experience,
Avocent is the leading global provider of KVM switching and network connectivity
solutions for data centers of all sizes. Avocent has grown through product
innovations, global expansion and strategic acquisitions. In 2001, Avocent
acquired Equinox Systems; 2C Computing was acquired in 2002; and Soronti, Inc.
in 2003. Crystal Link Technologies,
OSA Technologies, Inc., and Sonic Mobility, Inc. were acquired in 2004.'
