TinyPilot is a KVM over IP switch that enables computers to be remotely controlled, maintained, new software to be installed or customer servers to be managed. Why does a system house need the TinyPilot? Where does it help with customer support? What else can you do with it? Well, I would like to answer all these questions in this blog post.

Corona (well known, annoying, annoying, but also catalyst) has forced all companies to deal with real digitization. And it's not about sending things that were previously on paper to colleagues by email. That's a start, but it's not what's needed. But more on that in another blog post. So how does the TinyPilot fit into the "big picture"? Well, not all servers can be easily maintained remotely. What happens, for example, if I have to update a server and it can no longer be started because something goes wrong in the BIOS? Or what do I do in the automation industry where I have a server that controls my machines, but I have to regularly update this software for software development?

Here you can fall back on the TinyPilot, as it is system-independent. The TinyPilot works with any modern browser! This means that as soon as I have an Internet (or better still VPN) connection in my home office, I can access the TinyPilot. The TinyPilot itself converts the video signal from the server so that the image can be viewed in the browser. Conversely, you connect the TinyPilot to the server via USB and can then operate the server's keyboard and mouse. It is completely irrelevant which operating system is running on the server: Whether Linux, Windows or Mac OS: As the TinyPilot directly taps the video signal (VGA, DIV-X or HDMI) and transmits it to the remote browser, any operating system can be used as a server and any operating system running a modern browser can be used to remotely control this server; even in the BIOS!

The TinyPilot is currently being used by our customers in the automation industry (taking the 50t printing machine into the home office to program it is also rather difficult). Even if you "only" operate a data center, the TinyPilot can support you. If you have any further questions, please contact us. Either send us an e-mail or choose to contact us here. We will be happy to help you.
