KVM and KVM Switch are terms related to hardware devices used to manage multiple computers.

KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse):

KVM is an abbreviation for Keyboard, Video, and Mouse. In the context of virtualization, KVM also refers to a Kernel-based Virtual Machine, a virtualization module in the Linux kernel that allows the kernel to function as a hypervisor. However, in the context of hardware, KVM refers to devices that users can control multiple computers from a single keyboard, video monitor, and mouse setup.

KVM Switch:

A KVM Switch is a hardware device that allows a single keyboard, video monitor, and mouse to control multiple computers. Using a KVM switch, users can easily switch control between different computers. That is particularly useful in environments like server rooms or testing labs where space is limited and multiple systems need to be managed efficiently. The switch simplifies management by reducing the need for sets of peripherals and helps save space and reduce clutter.

These devices are essential in setups where multiple computers need to be managed simultaneously without the redundancy of many input devices for each system.
