Minicom partners Digi International

Minicom Advanced Systems
announced that they are partnering with Digi International, providing
them with remote serial access management. Minicom is integrating
access and management of 'Digi Passport', Digi's industry leading
console servers, into AccessIT, Minicom's remote access management
system. In-band and out-of-band
access of network devices such as routers, switches and servers are
critical in designing and maintaining robust datacenters. Console
servers offer a secure and auditable method for gaining access to
these devices, either through a web-based interface, or a serial or
modem connection when the network is down or unavailable. As the
number of Digi Passports in the datacenter grows, IT managers face
the challenge of how to simply and securely manage access to all
their computer systems and network equipment. This integration
enables Passport customers to remotely locate, update, control and
manage their console servers from one address, with one click giving
them a 'single pane of glass' view of hundreds of serial devices.
AccessIT offers unified access and control for KVM, serial, and
power, as well as software access services. IT managers enjoy
complete, consolidated in-band and out-of- band control of all their
IT computing and networking equipment from a single interface.

"We are really
excited about this integration, which brings tremendous benefits to
Digi's customers. Remote serial access management is essential for
running datacenters effectively. Now our customers can log in once,
and see all their computer systems and network devices from one
central location," said Brian O'Rourke, Manager-Principal
Product Line, Digi International. "It is extremely
satisfying to meet the needs of Digi International's customers with
AccessIT," said Rami Sasson, VP-Business Development and
Strategy, Minicom. He further added, "A remote access management
strategy is a requirement for today's datacenters, and we are proud
to deliver a comprehensive remote access management solution. IT
staff benefit from a single intuitive interface for running and
managing the multiple remote access protocols needed to maintain
their servers, switches, firewalls, routers and other IT components."
