We use a Belkin KVM-IP box with 2 sets of ports. One set for a = local
keyboard/monitor/mouse, and one to a 16 port Belkin KVM.
The IP= box can handle upto 64 KVM ports, and the KVM can daisy chain to an
extent I don't know.
You don't say how many servers, but 64 = is quite a lot.
I believe Belkin do a 4 channel IP box too.
Total cos= t was, I think, ~=A3700. To remotely manage >16 servers, peanuts.

That's cheap! I'm looking at their page right now. And 64 = is enough for sure (at least during the first year).
