Electric Power Plant
A KVM (keyboard/video/mouse) architecture establishes dedicated point to point optical connections from the power plant data center to a remote control room facility and provides you the following benefits:
  • Users have access to what they need and only what they need
    Dedicated optical links provide a network infrastructure that is not shared with other users and guarantees real-time access to control systems with support for single or dual link video with full HD video quality.  
  • Information security
    Rogue devices cannot spoof data or obtain unauthorized access to control systems or confidential information.  
  • Configuration flexibility
    Access to control room applications can be statically defined by work function or user, or defined to provide dynamic access from one or more workstations.   
With a Thinklogical infrastructure, the separation of keyboard and mouse from video allows the keyboard and mouse to be routed to any control station without affecting the video paths. Conversely, the video can be routed (with audio) to multiple locations with no impact on the keyboard and mouse routing. With a Thinklogical infrastructure, you have full control of every aspect of your environment.

Analysts project that in 2011, energy and utility businesses and organizations, in the United States alone, will invest upwards of $21.9 billion dollars in new technologies, with a compounded annual growth rate of 4.5 percent through 2014. Those are impressive numbers on their own, but when you consider the importance of energy to our lives - as well as to our global growth, productivity, and security - it is critical that the new initiatives underway to optimize technology in this field move into
full throttle.
