About the Vertiv Avocent MPU KVM 8-Port IP Switch
The Vertiv Avocent MPU KVM 8-Port IP Switch (MPU108E) delivers enterprise-grade keyboard, video, and mouse control across 8 KVM ports in a compact 1U rackmount form factor, making it an essential building block for distributed server management in modern data centers. This Vertiv solution supports simultaneous local and remote access through a single local user port and one remote IP user port, each capable of displaying video resolutions up to 1920 x 1200, ensuring crisp, responsive management sessions whether administrators are on-site or accessing infrastructure remotely via IP-based KVM over IP protocols.
Network engineers and IT infrastructure teams choose the MPU108E for its seamless integration within Vertiv's ecosystem: the switch is fully compatible with Avocent SIQ and SIP server interface modules, pairs with Avocent DSView 4 Management Software, and supports industry-standard authentication methods including LDAP, Active Directory, RADIUS, and local user database credentials. Security is built in through SSL/TLS encryption for all remote sessions, while virtual media functionality via USB enables secure firmware updates and remote troubleshooting without physical console access. The unit's Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000 Base-T RJ-45) network interface provides ample bandwidth for concurrent sessions, and its auto-ranging AC power input streamlines deployment across regional electrical standards. Operating reliably between 0°C and 40°C, the MPU108E meets CE, FCC, and RoHS regulatory requirements, making it suitable for diverse global deployment scenarios.
Storage architects and data center operations teams rely on this consolidated control platform to reduce physical console requirements and lower total cost of ownership across multi-server environments.

Frequently Asked Questions about Vertiv Avocent MPU KVM 8-Port IP Switch
Does the Vertiv Avocent MPU KVM 8-Port IP Switch support our SFP transceivers?
Most enterprise switches ship without transceivers; we quote vendor-matched optics alongside the switch (Cisco-genuine for Catalyst/Nexus, HPE/Aruba-genuine for CX, Juniper-genuine for QFX/EX). Third-party MSA-compatible options are also available at lower cost — specify preference in the RFQ.
Do you provide stacking / VPC / MLAG configuration help?
Yes — our network engineers can pre-stage stacking, VPC pairs, MLAG, EVPN-VXLAN, or fabric extender configurations in advance, or provide remote commissioning. Add commissioning to your RFQ.
What software licensing is included?
Switch software licensing varies by vendor. Cisco DNA / Cisco DCNM, Aruba CX licensing tiers, Juniper Premium, NVIDIA Cumulus — we quote the licensing tier matched to your features (BGP-EVPN, telemetry, automation). No surprises later.
Is the support global?
Yes — manufacturer hardware support is global (return-to-vendor or advance replacement depending on tier). For 24x7 same-day on-site replacement, attach a SmartNet / Foundation Care / J-Care contract during quoting.
