It’s a KVM in the same sense but instead of switching it provides the functionality over a web interface so that I can manage my server from my workstation or laptop instead of crawling in the space beneath the stairs where my server is if something goes wrong. Compare with IPMI.

For me a KVM is a switch for keeb, mouse and eventually a screen (or a virtual machine :-)
