Press Release Summary: The new products allow two users to control up to 16 or 32
mixed-platform (PS/2 & USB) servers. They also provide seamless power control via

Press Release Body: Jerusalem , Israel, September 19, 2008 -- Minicom Advanced
Systems , a leading developer of KVM switch and extension technology is launching
two new multi-user KVM switches for IT managers of server rooms and data centers –
the Smart 216 and the Smart 232 . The new products allow two users to control up to
16 or 32 mixed-platform (PS/2 & USB) servers. They also provide seamless power
control via Minicom's Serial Remote Power Switch (RPS).

Easy installation via user friendly OSD and compatibility is increased thanks to USB
keyboard and mouse console.

Physically, the Smart 216 and Smart 232 are both thin 1U sized, rack-mountable
devices that save critical space in crowded computer room environments. They both
feature Minicom KVM over CAT5 technology that directly connects the switch to each
computer in the server room, eliminating cable clutter and extending the distance
between server and switch up to 30m/100ft.

“Thanks to their advanced functionality the Smart 216 and Smart 232 overcome many of
the challenges facing today’s crowded server rooms and data centers,” says Minicom’s
KVM Product Manager Benny Hayumi. “They are the ideal solution for corporate server
rooms requiring both a powerful and versatile KVM solution.”

The Smart 216 and Smart 232 strengthen Minicom’s position in the KVM market by going
to the next level of control. From a single remote user product line (Smart 108,
Smart116) Minicom now offers a dual user line. In addition Minicom offers a full
line of remote access switches for both single and multiple users (Smart 116 IP,
Smart 216 IP and Smart 232 IP)
