I wanted to find a forum for data centers because I think they might use
similar setups, but I haven't been able to find such a forum.  If you are
aware of one, please let me know.  Also, I posted the question in the
microsoft.public.windows.server.general group (with a request to be pointed
to a more appropriate forum), knowing that's not really the right place
either, but figuring that some of the people who follow that group would
have experience in this area.  I got no responses.  This may not be the
right group, but I wasn't able to find a better option, and I needed to
start somewhere.

Other than that, the idea of setting up a security system using "free"
suggestions obtained from a newsgroup mainly focusing on solving problems
makes me feel very insecure indeed.

The question has nothing to do with security.  Yes, the displays will be
used in an environment where network security is part of the job, but the
question is merely, "How do we make X number of LCDs available on demand to
Y number of workstations?"  To me, that just deals with what kinds of
hardware and software might be involved.  As for security, the room sits
behind 3 card access steal doors and two hallways blanketed with cameras,
and we are segmented from the rest of the network.  I realize that where
there is a physical connection to the rest of the network, there is a
potential vulnerability, but that's the world we live in and we wouldn't be
able to monitor network operation without some form of connection.

I believe that in your country (I assume USA) there are some respectable
persons and companies who earn a living designing similar systems. They
are the best kind of hardware and software which could be suggested.

Perhaps, but I don't live in a major city where one might find such
expertise, and hiring consultants is not in the budget for at least the next
6 months.

"As for security, the room sits behind 3 card access "steal"

So tell me, Thomas M. Why are there "steal" doors & whatever ARE
"steal" doors for? Are they there to test your security in some
outlandish way....like "steal these doors at your peril".
or "If anyone can "steal" these doors our security is total ***."
Have you ever thought seriously of taking up another type of
employment? ...like potato growing, tidal wave-watching....or even
fire-walking?? I seem to get the feeling that you & "security" just
don't bond in any way. I just hope you haven't invested TOO much of
your time in it. :-(
