> KVM over IP (Keyboard, Video, Mouse over Internet Protocol) is a hardware solution that allows administrators to remotely access and manage servers and other devices at the BIOS level, even when the operating system is not running. It provides complete remote control, enabling tasks like system reboots, troubleshooting, and OS installations as if you were physically present with the machine.
