Traditionally, KVM is widely adopted to enhance productivity in testing environments or multimedia broadcasting. However, KVM is not only limited to those applications. With the development of technology and evolving consumer behavior, people nowadays tend to spend a great deal of time on mobile phones and have multiple mobile devices.
