Ultra-High Availability Applications Companies with mission-critical applications that demand ultra-high availability take advantage of Paragon II's non-blocked architecture to ensure that any administrator responding to an alarm can access the distressed server without being blocked by other users on the switch. Stacked and cascaded Paragon II switches can provide simultaneous access for up to 64 users to any of up to 10,000 servers. This contrasts with today's KVM-over-IP switches, which currently only support up to eight simultaneous users. "Our business demands 100% uptime, and Raritan has helped us meet that demand. Paragon enables us to switch between servers in a matter of seconds, meaning that if problems occur, servers are down for one minute versus one hour."
