a code device to digitize and encode the video response into essentially lossless digital computer video information;
a digital switch in the server rack, including a wireless server port to simultaneously communicate with the wireless radios
of two or more of the servers and a second port to receive keyboard input information, said digital switch communicating the
keyboard input information as the user command data directed to a selected server and receiving an analog signal identifying
the video response from the selected server; and
a management station creating via user inputs the keyboard input information and communicating said keyboard input information
