T
he Emerald® GE Gateway introduces a shared mode feature for Virtual Machines. It can be connected at any location on the Emerald IP KVM network. Each Emerald GE unit can service up to 8 virtual machines, enabling simultaneous connections for up to 8 Emerald users on each VM (up to 64 users in total).
Unlike traditional KVM or virtual access solutions that limit concurrency, display options, or require extra hardware, Emerald GE is software-driven, scalable, and unified across physical and virtual control room assets - all managed through Boxilla®. Because it is hardware-free at the host, Emerald GE is cost-effective.
Shared VM access means fewer licenses, less equipment, and faster decisions in mission-critical environments. GE keeps your team agile and synchronized in environments where seconds matter. It's easier to scale, requires fewer support tickets, and you are not locked into using equipment from one vendor.
Users experience enhanced efficiency and operator awareness, especially in high-pressure command and control operations. No retraining, no confusion. Just smooth operations. No hacks, no latency issues, no display mapping nightmares.
Streamlined control means lower operational risk, easier compliance, and less IT overhead. GE reduces setup time, minimizes errors, and ensures consistent workflows across your entire control room. Administrators realize fewer tools to manage, better control, and easier troubleshooting across hybrid environments.
