IRVINE, CA — (Marketwired) — 08/06/15 — (NASDAQ: LTRX) — a specialized networking company providing smart IoT and M2M solutions — today announced a new software version 7.2.0.0 for its SLC 8000 advanced console manager that is compliant with the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2. FIPS 140-2 is a security standard for IT systems that is mandatory for U.S. and Canadian government and military applications that use cryptographic-based security. This robust encryption is also suitable in finance, healthcare and other commercial applications where protection of privacy is critical.
“The impact of big data, the BYOD phenomenon and the rapid emergence of the Internet of Things have converged to create tremendous opportunity, but also significant security concerns. Cyber criminals are more collaborative and sophisticated than ever — which makes the SLC 8000 and its FIPS compliance even more compelling for us as a reseller and for our clients,” said Ed Floyd, Vendor Alliance Manager for En-Net — a leading supplier of IT solutions and services to public sector entities, including BAE Systems, FBI, NIH, DoD and John Hopkins University. “As a Lantronix partner and reseller of products including the SLC 8000, FIPS compliance is a significant step in opening up new revenue opportunities for our team, in particular in key market sectors where protecting sensitive data is paramount to the solution.”
“In line with our strategy of providing critical management solutions with sophisticated levels of security, this addition of FIPS140-2 compliant firmware expands market opportunities for our premier SLC 8000 Advanced Console Manager,” said Kurt Busch, president and CEO of Lantronix “Today, the average cost of a single data center outage is nearly one million dollars, creating a nightmare situation for IT teams tasked with maintaining 24/7 reliability. At Lantronix, we are dedicated to providing secure management products that reduce data center downtime and provide scalable, secure and cost-effective solutions for ever-demanding and changing IT environments of all sizes.”
The Lantronix SLC 8000 advanced modular console manager provides in-band and out-of-band management that allows IT personnel of any size enterprise to centrally manage, monitor and troubleshoot IT equipment locally or from anywhere over the network. An optional dial-up modem or cellular gateway is also available to provide out-of-band access if the network is down. This reduces downtime and increases response efficiency so that IT incidents are resolved quickly and with minimal or zero network disruption. The modular form factor of the SLC 8000 console manager allows easy scalability allowing users to reduce their total cost of ownership by simply adding or replacing modules as needed, while providing flexibility to support a custom combination of serial console interfaces.
The SLC 8000 Advanced Console Manager also:
Reduces operating costs and security risks by eliminating the need for truck rolls or on-site interventions.
Provides multiple layers of out-of-band access including Ethernet, Wi-Fi, dialup and cellular technologies.
Simplifies service deployments and balances CAPEX and OPEX with its modular design.
Enables custom “mix-and-match” configurations with USB and RJ45 device port modules.
Minimizes cable clutter with software-reversible device port pins.
Protects management interfaces with authentication and FIPS 140-2 compliant encryption.
