IRVINE, Calif., May 6, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Lantronix, Inc. (Nasdaq:LTRX) today announced that its ManageLinx(tm), a powerful application services platform, received an Editor's Choice Award from eg3.com. After identifying the key technology areas facing the industry, eg3.com editors chose three of the best new product announcements for each and are now surveying its audience for the Readers' Choice Award. Voting for the Readers' Choice Award ends May 19, 2008.
VIP Access(tm) is the first available ManageLinx application that provides users secure, remote Internet access to virtually any type of networked equipment behind firewalls, from a central location. It utilizes existing network infrastructures to create a "Virtual Device Network" (VDN) that allows access to only specific IP addresses of authorized equipment, without visibility to any other part of the network or compromising IT policies or firewall integrity. ManageLinx is extremely easy to deploy and does not require any changes to the network hardware or configuration, making it an ideal platform for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) or managed service providers (MSPs) to generate, expand or accelerate remote product service (RPS) or smart service business offerings. Highly reliable, this scalable platform will offer additional applications in the future via software activation keys.
"With the ManageLinx platform, Lantronix now offers a software application-based remote network access and management solution that ties our network enablement and remote IT management technology solutions into one, complete platform offering," said Jerry D. Chase, president and CEO of Lantronix. "Since its introduction earlier this year, we have received an overwhelming response from potential customers. Recognition from eg3.com is yet another validation that we have developed a solution that our customers not only need, but a solution that can help to accelerate their business and generate more revenue."
