Key Applications and Benefits of Dual Host Docks
How dual host docking stations with Keyboard/Video/Mouse (KVM) sharing increase productivity, collaboration, and connectivity
A dual host docking station is equipped to connect and simultaneously power and control two different host devices, connecting them up to three monitors and multiple downstream peripherals via a single desktop dock.
Dual host docking solutions with integrated Keyboard/Video/Mouse (KVM) sharing are a powerful way to enhance the capabilities of a single docking station – resulting in greater productivity, increased collaboration, and more connectivity.
During our recent Tech Talk webinar, Targus Docktor Senior Director of Engineering Kevin Quinn, and Andrew Corkill, Vice President, Global Marketing & eCommerce, offered an overview of dual host docking technology, its key benefits and use cases.
