Cost of network downtime per hour for Indian mid-market
₹5.6 L
per hour of branch downtime in BFSI and mid-market India when a server hangs at boot and the operator has no out-of-band console to clear the issue. Gartner puts the global average near $5,600 per minute. An ATEN KN4140V KVM-over-IP design with the right virtual-media setup removes that exposure for the equipment life.

What sits inside aten kvm switches india
Three product layers worth understanding before the site-survey call. Pick the parts that fit, not the brochure that looks busiest.
KN4140V KVM-over-IP for datacenter
KN4140V 40-port cat-5 KVM-over-IP with virtual media support and the CC2000 management software. Operators get full BIOS-level remote console for every server in the rack from a single browser tab. Right pick for a datacenter operations team that runs 24×7 across multiple sites and needs out-of-band access when SSH or RDP are unavailable.
Sirius Star runs the site survey, the rack and tray design, procurement against the ATEN India distributor, install with the certified field team, and the post-install validation. Change requests go to care@siriusstar.in.
Price on Request, per switch plus CC2000 licence plus install
CL5800 rack LCD console KVM
CL5800 dual-rail 19-inch LCD rack console with built-in 8-port or 16-port KVM. Slides out of the rack for emergency console work. Right pick for an MDF or IDF room where the operator wants direct console access without rolling a crash cart down the row.
Price on Request, per console plus mounting kit
KE Series HDBaseT extender matrix
KE8950 4K HDMI plus USB extender over a single cat-6 cable up to 100 metres with optional CCKM matrix management. Right pick for a broadcast control room, a surveillance NOC, or a dealing room where the operator chair sits 60 metres from the PC farm in the secured equipment room.
Price on Request, per transmitter and receiver pair plus CCKM
ATEN vs Avocent vs Raritan vs Vertiv KVM
ATEN wins on India distributor depth, the KE Series HDBaseT matrix for broadcast and dealing-room use cases, and the CC2000 management software included with the KN Series KVM-over-IP. The pricing sits at a clear mid-market step below Avocent and Raritan.
HPE Aruba and Fortinet are the two cross-stack alternatives we deploy most. Avocent (Vertiv) wins on the legacy installed base in large datacenters and the Trellis DCIM integration. Right pick for a Tier III or Tier IV datacenter where the operations playbook is already Avocent and the buyer wants a forklift continuity upgrade.
Raritan (Legrand) wins on BFSI compliance certifications, the Dominion KX III remote console feature depth, and CommandCenter Secure Gateway. Right pick for a regulated financial datacenter where the audit ask is line-by-line console session recording.
Vertiv Cybex SC KVM wins on US government and defence compliance, secure cross-domain switching, and TEMPEST hardening. Right pick for a defence or critical-infrastructure operator with a multi-classification operator workstation. We deploy all four based on the compliance ask and the operator workflow.
How the ATEN rollout and support register runs in India
Four phases. The site survey is free. The written design returns within four working hours. The install runs with our engineering team plus the OEM service partner where the warranty needs it. Post-install change requests run through care@siriusstar.in and WhatsApp on +91 91375 93228.
Site survey and traffic profile
The survey walks the datacenter rack rows, the MDF and IDF rooms, the dealing-room or broadcast-control operator chairs, and the surveillance NOC suite. We map the server count per KVM port, the operator chair count, the HDBaseT cable run distances, and the CC2000 management software placement.
Survey
Design and BOM
The design produces the ATEN BOM, the KN switch port allocation per server group, the CL rack console mounting plan, the KE matrix transmitter and receiver placement, and the CCKM management licence sizing. The CC2000 user permissions plan is filled at this stage.
Design
Certified install and validation
The ATEN Authorized Partner field team runs the install. Every KVM-over-IP port gets a connectivity test. Every HDBaseT link gets a 4K signal validation. CC2000 onboarding runs through the centralised user permission push.

Handover and warranty register
Handover delivers the CC2000 user permission backup, the KN port-to-server map, the KE matrix routing template, the warranty register, and the device serial list. Change requests after handover go to care@siriusstar.in with WhatsApp on +91 91375 93228.

Where ATEN KVM switches fits best in India
ATEN KVM anchors four industry profiles in India. Datacenter operator stations. BFSI dealing rooms and back-office trading floors. Broadcast and post-production control rooms. Surveillance NOC and city-command-centre operator suites.
Datacenter operator stations lean on KN Series KVM-over-IP because the operations team runs night shifts across sites and a 40-port KN4140V replaces a crash cart in two-thirds of incident workflows. CC2000 manages the user permissions per server group, so the audit ask is met without extra tooling.
BFSI dealing rooms and back-office trading floors lean on CS Series desktop KVM and KE Series HDBaseT extenders because each trader chair runs 4 to 8 PCs split between the dealing terminal, the risk system, the chat compliance recorder, and the personal-productivity stack. Cable sprawl behind the desk is a known fire-marshal headache.
Broadcast and post-production control rooms lean on KE Series matrix because the operator chair switches between studio playout PCs, the graphics server, and the ingest workstation through a single keyboard, mouse, and 4K display. Latency under 50 ms over HDBaseT keeps the live-broadcast workflow honest.
Surveillance NOC and city-command-centre operator suites lean on CL Series rack consoles plus KE matrix because the NOC has 8 to 24 operator chairs facing a video wall, each operator switching between zone NVRs, the ANPR analytics PC, and the radio dispatch console. ATEN’s CCKM software runs the source switching from one master controller.
When ATEN should pair with active networking and DLP
A ATEN install solves one layer. Two adjacent layers usually need a separate decision. The active wired and wireless layer where the brand is not always a fit, and the data-loss prevention layer at the endpoint.
For the active layer pair ATEN with HPE Aruba CX switches and access points when the buyer wants the single Aruba Central console. Pair with Fortinet FortiSwitch and FortiAP when the security posture leads and the buyer already runs FortiGate. Pair with Cato Networks SASE when the branch count is above 20 and the buyer wants security-led SASE without per-branch firewalls.
For the endpoint data-loss prevention layer pair the network plant with Secure Data Guard, GTB DLP, or Safetica. The network carries the bits. DLP enforces what data leaves the endpoint. The two are complementary, not overlapping.
Cross-stack siblings on this site: Cisco UCS for compute, Belden structured cabling for the passive plant, and the IT Hardware Solutions hub for the broader portfolio.
ATEN India FAQ
What are ATEN KVM switches and why do they fit Indian datacenters?
ATEN KVM switches ship the KN Series KVM-over-IP for remote console access, the CL Series rack-mount LCD consoles, the KE Series HDBaseT extender matrix, and the CS Series desktop KVM. For Indian buyers the value sits in three places. KN Series replaces the crash cart for two-thirds of incident workflows and clears the fire-marshal aisle-blocking concern. KE HDBaseT matrix moves the operator chair 60 to 100 metres from the noisy PC farm in broadcast and dealing-room setups. CC2000 management software runs per-server user permissions for the audit ask. We deploy ATEN for datacenter operations, BFSI dealing rooms, broadcast control rooms, and surveillance NOC suites.
What does ATEN KVM India pricing look like in 2026?
India pricing is site-survey-led. KN Series KVM-over-IP is per switch with the port count from 8 to 40, plus the CC2000 management software licence. CL Series rack LCD consoles are per console with built-in KVM. KE Series HDBaseT extenders are per transmitter-receiver pair, with the optional CCKM matrix management licence. CS Series desktop KVM is per unit. We do not publish a fixed price card because the SKU mix swings sharply between a datacenter deployment and a broadcast control room. The written 24-month TCO with the BOM, the CC2000 or CCKM scope, and the install plan returns within four working hours of the survey.
ATEN vs Raritan Dominion for a regulated BFSI datacenter, which one fits?
Raritan Dominion KX III wins on BFSI compliance certifications, the deepest remote console feature set, and the CommandCenter Secure Gateway for line-by-line session recording. ATEN KN Series wins on India distributor depth, lower CapEx, and the CC2000 management software included. The honest call is whether the compliance ask demands certified session-recording features (Raritan) or whether the workflow needs reliable KVM-over-IP at mid-market pricing (ATEN). We deploy both.
How does an ATEN KVM engagement run at Sirius Star?
A typical engagement runs in four phases. Site survey walks the datacenter racks, the operator chairs, and the HDBaseT cable runs. Design produces the ATEN BOM, the KN port allocation, the KE matrix transmitter-receiver placement, and the CC2000 user permission plan. Install runs with the ATEN Authorized Partner field team, with every KVM-over-IP port tested and every HDBaseT link 4K-validated. Handover delivers the CC2000 backup, the port-to-server map, and the warranty register. Change requests go to care@siriusstar.in.
Does ATEN handle warranty replacement in India?
ATEN hardware carries a two-year or three-year limited warranty by default, depending on the product line. Replacement runs through the ATEN India authorised distributor against the warranty register filed at install. We hold the device serial list and the CC2000 management software reference for every install. Standard product delivery is via standard courier partners. We map the warranty replacement window during the survey so the buyer knows the turnaround per metro and tier-2 city.
One ATEN rollout. Written 8-hour TCO. Site survey on day one.
Free site survey at the campus, plant, datacenter, or office. Port count, equipment placement, cable-route or wireless coverage map, and the warranty registration plan. Written design with the BOM, the rack layout, the validation scope, and the install calendar returned within four working hours of the survey.
P.S. the last BFSI operations head we walked through had a crash-cart fire-marshal violation pending for 14 months because the cart rolled across the hot-aisle every shift. The KN4140V replaced the crash cart for 90 percent of console incidents. Compliance closed the violation in one quarter. KVM-over-IP is not a glamour product but it solves a specific operator-workflow pain that nothing else fixes.
