ATEN Releases Lightweight, Energy-Efficient LCD Console

Online, November 26, 2011 (Newswire.com) - ATEN International, a leading designer and manufacturer of advanced connectivity solutions, today announced the availability of the CL3000 PS/2-USB LCD Console, a lightweight, eco-friendly hardware unit that serves as the front-end console for compatible KVM switches.

Equipped with a 19-inch power-saving LED-backlit LCD monitor, the CL3000 offers a space-saving, streamlined approach by integrating a keyboard, video monitor and touchpad all in one unit. Expending only 72.9 BTUs an hour and 21.4 watts, the CL3000 is far more energy-efficient than its competitors, saving up to 55 percent in power consumption. Additional console ports allows the second user local access, when utilized with an ATEN on the NET switch or KVM extender, the CL3000 provides a practical solution for remotely controlling computers in different locations while reducing IT overhead.

"The CL3000 is a green solution that speaks to the budget-conscious IT manager,"said Kevin Chen, President of ATEN International. "From a green IT perspective, products such as the CL3000 provide cost savings by eliminating the need for additional hardware including keyboards, monitors and mice. Furthermore, the CL3000 delivers energy efficiency through its LED-backlit LCD monitor. We are committed to providing our customers with products that help reduce their carbon footprint and realize energy savings."

The CL3000 is particularly useful in scenarios where weight is the major concern. Military vehicles, for instance, are subject to weight limitations; loading the trailer in excess of these limitations is not only illegal and can subject the driver to fines and penalties, but is also unsafe. The CL3000's unique lightweight design is ideal to help lower a vehicle's total weight. For similar reasons, the CL3000 is also ideal for use by aeronautical instrument companies for aircraft equipment testing in weight-crucial environments.

The following are the CL3000's key features and specifications:
. Integrated LCD console featuring a 19" monitor in a Slideaway housing
. Green power - LED-backlit LCD monitor saves energy
. Lightweight design for easier installation
. Dual Interface - supports computers with PS/2 or USB keyboards and mice
