The price of installing a console server can vary drastically based on what it is you want to do. If there are only 3 or 4 computers that need to be accessed on the network, there are models that can be purchased for a little over 1000 dollars. If a network has thousands of computers that need to be connected through multiple pieces of hardware, price can be astronomical. Of course for a company that would need to utilize servers and the overall benefits in this fashion, the cost may be reasonable. Generally software and hardware of this kind are impractical for consumer and even small business use. Major corporations and companies with locations all over the world are the entities that truly benefit from this type of hardware and software setup.
