One of the key features of Local Management is persistent connectivity to remote gear. With Uplogix connected to your network and communications devices, and an out-of-band connection of some sort, you can count on maintaining management access and two-way control even when the network is down or degraded. In addition to being able to connect [...]
The Uplogix 500 (top) and Uplogix 5000. We recently announced two new hardware platforms for deploying Local Management in your network. They represent the fourth generation of Uplogix hardware are the latest result of our continuing investment in exceeding customer reliability, durability, form factor and power efficiency requirements. Both platforms are available immediately. The Uplogix [...]
The expectations for the storm as of Monday morning, October 29. As the Northeast region of the United States hunkers down for the landfall of Hurricane Sandy it seems to be a good time to reflect (under the blue skies and cool temperatures of a nice early fall day here at Uplogix headquarters in Austin) [...]
Thirty years ago, a wrinkly alien named ET showed how important the idea of phoning home can be as he went through great effort to phone home to report his status. Luckily with Uplogix you won't have to build an antenna out of an umbrella and aluminum foil. No need for a Speak & Spell [...]
The view this week at the Monaco Yacht Show. Uplogix might have “cut its teeth” in maritime VSAT in the energy industry with deployments on drilling platforms from the North Sea to the Gulf of Mexico to the Niger River delta and on the support vessels servicing them, but the value we bring to the [...]
This week NASA provided a great example of automation with successful arrival of the Curiosity rover on Mars after months of spaceflight and a multi-stage landing process referred to as "seven minutes of terror." As a company that has developed a unique solution for network automation, it's easy to draw a few comparisons (as well [...]
20 years ago this month, the first SMS-capable phones went on sale in Europe. Use of SMS messages swelled, with over 6 trillion messages sent worldwide in 2010. For phone companies, they've been lucrative as well -- generating more than $110 billion in revenue on those 6 trillion texts. While many users have migrated from [...]
At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this week wireless carrier executives discussed the challenges of meeting an exploding demand on their networks as the number of users and their appetite for bandwidth continue to grow. The service providers' concern is that while they are seeing doubling in wireless data needs, they are not expecting [...]
One of the key features of the Uplogix Local Management Platform is the ability for a Local Manager (LM) to connect back to the NOC over an out-of-band (OOB) link when the primary network link is not available. This connection is a secure two-way link that not only allows Uplogix to feed centralized management tools [...]
Inline devices like intrusion prevention systems (IPS) and WAN acceleration are a common part of most network setups today. While these applications have become critical to network operations, they also pose a critical point of failure based on their location, often between layers 2 and 3 in the network topology. Network-independent local monitoringUplogix local management [...]
