Lantronix to Launch AccessMyDevice.com, Enterprise-Grade Remote Access Service

Representing a major product milestone for the Company, this enterprise-grade service will allow remote access to PCs, laptops and mobile devices, servers, and other equipment and electronics – even those not originally designed with networking capability. Lantronix will offer AccessMyDevice.com in conjunction with a special promotion of its award winning keyboard video mouse (KVM) product SpiderDuo with VIP Access. The Company will also offer the service component free of charge for a user’s first six months.

AccessMyDevice.com is a bundled solution comprising a customized, VIP Access-enabled SpiderDuo and a monthly subscription service. Key features include:

* 24/7 secure, browser-based access to virtually any machine, device, server, PC, laptop, and more;
* Operating system-independent – Works on Linux, Windows and Mac machines, and any device with KVM support;
* BIOS-level access – Without the limitations of a software-based solution residing at the operating system layer, users can change BIOS settings and even conduct an entire system restore;
* Securely access devices and data behind firewalls;
* Virtual Media Support – Perform remote upgrades, transfer files and redirect local drives remotely;
* Wake-On-LAN – Remotely wake up a computer or device that is turned off, or vice versa, saving on energy costs and system usage.

The AccessMyDevice.com service, along with SpiderDuo’s remote access and management capabilities are currently utilized by customers in the healthcare, IT/data center, and commercial markets. They are also an ideal solution for point-of-sale, kiosk, ATM, campus or other environments, where the device is locally used but maintained by distant IT staff. Remote management capabilities reduce the need for costly technician dispatches to maintain the equipment. An optional power control unit allows a user to remotely cycle equipment power.

“The launch of AccessMyDevice.com initially with VIP Access-enabled SpiderDuo is an exciting next step for us,” said Jerry Chase, CEO at Lantronix. “All our new embedded and external products will also support VIP Access and will be accessible through AccessMyDevice.com. We believe the savings in time and money to our customers will be game changing. The service will also provide new revenue streams for the Company in terms of online product sales and a recurring revenue stream from the monthly service offering.”

Unlike industry-leading software-based secure remote access solutions, AccessMyDevice.com boasts all the benefits of a browser interface, coupled with the added security and functionality to remotely access devices and data behind firewalls. The company is launching the service as part of a special promotion, comprised of a bundled, customized SpiderDuo and six months free AccessMyDevice.com service, together for $349.00 USD. Following the six month free trial, the service component will be $19.95 per month. AccessMyDevice.com will launch nationwide in September 2010 and globally in 2011.
