Are you in, or are you out?

Berkshire, UK, 02.03.2017 - ATEN, the leading provider of IT connectivity and total management solutions, returns to Data Centre World this year presenting the latest generation of intelligent green energy solutions, data centre centralised management solutions and the world's smallest portable laptop USB console adapter at the world's largest and most influence gather of Data Centre expertise.

The name 'KVM trade-in program' or 'KVM trade-up program' appear to be popular, and well-rounded phrases that are used when promoting the KVM trade-in / KVM trade-up programs.

Since the beginning of the year, manufacturers who specialise in connectivity & IT management solutions and are the world's largest KVM manufacturers, Rack PDU's and service providers have been (and, some are still) promoting their KVM trade-in programs.

This type of promotional offers to those who are either their pre-existing customers or those who are interested in purchasing KVM switches, KVM rack consoles and serial switches - also known as end-users, with the opportunity to improve their data centres productivity, whilst lowering their total cost of ownership for next-generation KVM solutions.

Of course, KVM solution resellers are also leveraging the KVM trade-in program to promote directly to their customers too.

It's a Win-Win situation.

How does the KVM trade-in work?

Under the KVM trade-in program, the end-users will contact the participating resellers with certain details such as the KVM equipment they wish to trade-in, manufacturer names and model numbers and so forth (it has to fall within the list of eligible trade-in switches).

Dependent on the program, end-users could be given trade-in credits, rebates or monetary discounts - also known as cash-back when trade-in existing KVM Switches, KVM rack consoles or Serial Switches from the manufacturers who are offering the KVM trade-in program and will be eligible for the new trade-in product.

What options are there?

It all depends on your preference, whether by brand choice, the KVM trade-in discount rates (credits, cash-back and so forth), the warranty services, or the services you have previous experience that may have won you over when selecting the appropriate KVM trade-in program.

There are options like the KVM over IP switch and LCD KVM rack console trade-in program which will expire at the end of June, the KVM and serial console trade-in program which will expire at the end of March or KVM systems trade-up which will expire at the end of March.

What are the benefits?

The various available KVM trade-in programs allow Data Centre Managers / IT Managers to take advantage of the KVM trade-in promotion should they not only wish to manage their data centers and, IT distribution infrastructure more efficiently but also potentially yield higher productivity.

The KVM trade-in promotion could potentially help businesses reduce time to repair and bring down the cost of downtime by providing a secure access and control to servers and other IT equipment from virtually anywhere.
