KVM is useful when the host processor is or will be active and a remote IT operator wants to control the client platform. For example,
• The platform displays a blue screen and the IT operator wants to see it.
• The operating system is unresponsive or is in repair mode, so other remote display applications that run using the operating system are not available.
• The platform is “asleep” (S3 state) and the IT operator wishes to wake up the platform and work with it.
• The platform needs to be booted, and requires a combination of BIOS (text) and operating system (graphics) interaction. The IT operator can observe the full flow when rebooting.
