Lantronix to launch new remote-management multiport devices

IRVINE, Calif. — Lantronix Inc., a provider of secure, remote device networking and data center management technologies, has announced the February availability of the company's newest Evolution Device/Terminal Server products, the eight- and 16-port EDSPS.

According to a news release, the EDSPS units use industry-standard management tools to allow serial equipment, such as medical devices, kiosks and retail terminals, to be accessed and managed via the Internet.

The Restriction of Hazardous Substances-compliant EDSPS includes enterprise-level security important in today's corporate environment, including strong Secure Shell (SSH), Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Advanced Encryption Standard-encryption. Lantronix' highly secure Evolution OS ensures data transported through the EDS is protected from denial of service, port mapping and other hostile Internet attacks. The data center-grade level of protection is easy to configure and allows organizations to attach multiple electronic devices to their corporate networks.

"The EDS is an important addition to our product portfolio and part of an ongoing flow of new products for 2009," said Jerry Chase, Lantronix chief executive officer. "The product reflects our customers' expectations that Lantronix continually improves product features, security and ease of use. Investing in, and growing, our product and technology leadership is just as important to us as our commitment to positive cash flow and profitability."

Lantronix device servers also feature industry-standard management tools for easy configuration and monitoring, and email and RSS notifications for instant visibility of device activity. The EDS' standards-based communications include a simplified, Cisco-like command line interface to assist with set-up and control, in addition to XML-based and Web configuration tools.
