    Dell 2161DS, 16 ports, and with PEMs (Port Expansion Modules) you can expand it out to 256 ports.

    They use to be really reasonable in price, but have since gone up in price as the supply has dried up. You should still be able to pick one up around $750 off ebay.

    Pro Tip: Dell will sell you PEMs directly via their small business unit for $99 each, I have seen other places with prices 3 times that.

    Hello

    too expensive here : 3390€+vat

    180AS or 2160AS could be interesting

    You should be able to get a 2161DS-2 for $750 on ebay, we picked one up a month or two ago for right around that price. They can expand to 128 ports using them PEMs, 8 ports per PEM with 16 ports.

    A cheaper alternative, get a standard KVM, and just buy and 3rd party IP module to add to it.
    Makes it a little more affordable. Those full IP KVMs are bank-breakers!
    This is the best signature in the world....Tribute!

    We found good offer for 2162DC ..

    But 2160AS (analogic) is really lower

    We must put this on rack in DC, so think analogic may be a good solutions, not require to use kvm hover distance..

    what think about this ?

    I endorse this message. We have a handful of these little monsters and they work great.

    You will have horrible mouse off sync issues, and questionable key input because your going kvm to kvm. Highly not advised.

    The last option we are evaluated is Lantronix Spider

    What do you think about ?

    The spiders are great! They provide remote media as well as a small package. The down-side is you buy one per server, or you just buy one and move it from server to server as needed. Also people don't like the fact it powers off usb... you can buy an ac adapter or just plug the USB power port into the server next to it and the other USB (remote media) into the server your working on. The reason for this is on reboot the spiders take 30 seconds to wake back up.
