Background
Shenzhen Metro Line 5 is the fifth metro line to be completed and operated in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China. Shenzhen Metro Line 5 runs through the first and second circles of the city, connecting the three development axes of the west, middle and east of the city, and interchanges with 10 rail transit lines.
What’s more, Line 5 is the backbone line of Shenzhen’s metro line, and a fast corridor connecting various groups and three major transportation hubs along the line, alleviating the traffic pressure of the road system, improving the efficiency of the rail transit network, and expanding the space for urban development.
Issue
Different from the devices of supermarkets and office buildings, metro communications and server rooms need somebody to monitor and maintain them throughout the day. Operators need to enter the server rooms several times a day to check, clean, repair the devices, or update programs. Each cabinet of line 5 is equipped with 8 servers which need to be checked one by one, makeing work efficiency lower and time wasted. Therefore, a perfect KVM switch with wide compatibility, stability, and reliability is urgently needed to manage these servers.
