Digi擴大AnywhereUSB產品線，推出業內首款集USB和Serial-over-IP方案及緊湊型USB集線器產品

明尼蘇達州明尼通卡2009年8月6日電 /美通社亞洲/ — Digi International(納斯達克：DGII)今天介紹了兩款新的AnywhereUSB(R)產品：AnywhereUSB TS 和 AnywhereUSB/2。AnywhereUSB TS 是業內首款USB與串口相結合的IP集線器產品。該產品將Digi獨有的 Realport(R)USB-over-IP和Realport(R)Serial-over-IP兩項專利技術集於一體，使得客戶可以利用單一產品方案即可方便地將USB和串口設備連入網絡。AnywhereUSB/2 是一種緊湊型USB集線器，應用了Realport USB-over-IP技術，可以將有線或無線網絡中任何位置的USB設備方便地接入，尤其適用於空間受限的環境。AnywhereUSB產品是虛擬化技術、零售行業和醫療行業應用程序中連接USB設備與網絡的理想選擇。

Digi International的業務拓展副總裁Stephen Popovich說：「為滿足特定客戶的需要，我們正在擴充產品線，客戶除了可以在一個集線器上同時連接串口設備和USB設備之外，AnywhereUSB TS產品還為用戶提供了靈活地將串口設備轉換成USB設備的能力。這種需求在血液分析儀或血糖測試儀這類醫療設備和零售業環境中是十分常見的。」

Digi AnywhereUSB產品的整個產品線也非常適用於虛擬機軟件，這一市場以每年50%的速度增長。AnywhereUSB 使得USB認證密鑰這類USB設備在VMware、Microsoft Virtual Server和Xen等虛擬服務器上可以輕鬆地通過網絡得到支持。

AnywhereUSB 產品不再依賴本地主機，這打破了傳統的USB五米連線的限制。客戶只需使用互聯網便可以隨時隨地訪問並監控設備，簡化了操作並減少了IT支持。

AnywhereUSB/2 備有兩個USB接口和一個以太網接口。AnywhereUSB TS備有四個USB接口、四個串口和一個以太網接口。該產品也包含了 Realport serial-to-Ethernet專利技術，可以讓客戶輕鬆地將其串口設備連接到網絡。AnywhereUSB產品與大多數USB設備或中斷類型的USB設備兼容，如條碼掃瞄設備、打印設備、指紋識別設備和讀卡器。也同時兼容Digi的Watchport(R) USB 數碼相機、 Watchport系列傳感器和Edgeport(R) USB到串口轉換器。

Digi Expands AnywhereUSB Product Line with Industry’s First Combined USB and Serial over IP Solution and Compact USB Hub
MINNETONKA, Minn., Aug. 6 /PRNewswire-Asia/ — Digi International (Nasdaq: DGII) today introduced two new AnywhereUSB(R) products, the AnywhereUSB TS and AnywhereUSB/2. The AnywhereUSB TS is the industry’s first combined USB and serial over IP hub. It combines Digi’s patented Realport(R) USB-over-IP and Realport(R) Serial-over-IP technology in one product allowing customers to easily network both USB and serial devices with one solution. The AnywhereUSB/2 is a compact USB hub featuring Realport USB-over-IP technology. This allows the product to easily connect USB devices anywhere on a wired or wireless network and is perfect for use in space-constrained environments. AnywhereUSB products are ideal for connecting USB devices to networks in virtualization, retail and healthcare applications.

“We are growing the product line to address specific customer needs,” said Stephen Popovich, vice president of business development, Digi International. “In addition to allowing customers to connect both serial and USB devices with one hub, the AnywhereUSB TS provides customers greater flexibility to migrate from serial to USB devices. This is common in healthcare with equipment like blood analyzers or glucose meters and in retail environments.”

Digi’s entire line of AnywhereUSB products is also perfect for use with virtual machine software, a market growing at 50 percent year over year. AnywhereUSB makes it easy for a USB device like a USB authentication key to be supported over the network by an application in a virtual environment such as VMware, Microsoft Virtual Server and Xen.

AnywhereUSB products eliminate the need for locally-attached host PCs and break the traditional five-meter USB cabling distance limitation. Customers can access and monitor their devices anywhere an Internet connection is available to simplify operations and reduce IT support.

The AnywhereUSB/2 features two USB ports and one Ethernet port. The AnywhereUSB TS features four USB ports, four serial ports and one Ethernet port. It also includes patented Realport serial-to-Ethernet technology that allows customers to easily network enable their serial devices. All AnywhereUSB products are compatible with bulk or interrupt type USB devices such as bar-code scanners, printers, fingerprint scanners and card readers. Digi’s Watchport(R) USB cameras, Watchport Sensors and Edgeport(R) USB-to-serial Converters are also compatible.
