KVM

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

KVM is an abbreviation that can mean:

  • KVM switch (KVM standing for "Keyboard, Video, Mouse"), a hardware device that allows a user, or multiple users, to control multiple computers from a single keyboard, video monitor and mouse. Often used to manage a business's servers.
  • an extremely compact Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that is designed for small devices and has a tiny memory footprint. It supports a subset of the features of the higher end JVM. For example, a KVM may not support floating-point operations and object finalization. The CLDC specifies use of the KVM. The 'K' in KVM stands for kilobyte, signifying that the KVM runs in kilobytes of memory as opposed to megabytes.
  • K. V. Mahadevan (before 1940), a South Indian music composer
