Lantronix, Inc., a provider of secure, remote management and device networking solutions, introduced ManageLinx 3.0. This solution extends the reach of cloud-based computing to machines, devices, and applications which may be located behind firewalls. ManageLinx 3.0 brings the cost advantages and scalability of cloud-based computing to machine-to-machine (M2M) and machine-to-application communications, providing customers with easy access to the latest applications. Rather than the ongoing investment in hardware and software needed to run applications in the enterprise, machines can now access the cloud to take advantage of robust computing technology.

In a press release, Jerry Chase, president and CEO of Lantronix (News - Alert), commented, “ManageLinx 3.0 embodies our vision of safely and securely extending the benefits of cloud computing to machines and equipment behind firewalls, anywhere in the world. We are thrilled to add this major advancement in our ManageLinx platform to the growing list of newly-launched customer-driven Lantronix products and value-added solutions, designed to save customers time and money, improve their product development processes and help create new business models.”

The solution has been optimized taking into consideration the customer feedback and leveraging Web 2.0 technology.

• Extensibility: Supports the addition of VIP Access to microprocessor-based designs and 3rd party networked equipment.
• Scalability: Throughput and scalability enhanced by the re-design of the infrastructure to support 10 times the number of devices.
• Compatibility: Fully compatible with all existing ManageLinx equipment in the field.
• Usability: Designed in collaboration with customers, ManageLinx delivers value immediately with a marked increase in functionality.

Lantronix was recently in TMC (News - Alert) news when the company had added the standard industrial protocol, Modbus, to XPort Pro, in order to offer customers power to communicate with, manage and control their energy monitoring and manufacturing equipment remotely and securely through the Internet, even if they are behind firewalls.
