  They’re making a KVM targeted at data centers that doesn’t support VGA?

    Yeah it kind of surprised me too. HDMI and USBC is good for modern servers, but we have plenty of 15-year-old servers in production and even a lot of new servers still use VGA.

      Yeah VGA is still pretty much gold standard for supportability in my experience. It’s like a console port with baud rate settings, worst case scenario those two should always work.

    Yes, I’ll have to buy a 10/15€ cheap Chinese adapter.

      Yes they could also redesign the whole product for a few ppl who will plug it into an old PC that still uses vga or an old server that has no IPMI.

      You realise how big the VGA connector is relative to the product?
