Uplogix Delivers Secure Remote Management Solutions for Sun Server Platforms


Uplogix’ secure remote management appliance now available as part of Sun infrastructure offering delivering consistency and reduced complexity for remote access and management across distributed Sun server environments

Austin, Texas (July 16, 2008) Uplogix, the leading provider of next-generation secure remote management (SRM) solutions, today announced it will offer its award-winning Uplogix SRM platform as a component of Sun’s server management offering. Sun customers are assured consistent visibility and control of all server management actions which increases accountability and reduces the costs and vulnerabilities inherent in supporting server infrastructure across a distributed enterprise.

Enterprise customers have come to expect the highest infrastructure availability and performance standards, but even the best server solutions can be challenging to manage in distributed environments. Uplogix ensures all Sun server management sessions are executed consistently and, according to best policy, sessions are secure and encrypted; users are properly authorized; and all activity between IT or third party personnel and servers is appropriately logged and unauthorized actions are prohibited. Furthermore, all management sessions can be performed without a network connection in place or an IT administrator on location.

“Providing our customers with increasingly intelligent and integrated options for management of our server platforms is a high priority for Sun,” said Juan Carlos Soto, VP of global market development and engineering, Sun Microsystems. “The combination of Solaris and Sun servers’ manageability capabilities like fault management, service processors, enhanced logs, and error messages with the Uplogix management appliance, helps our customers increase data center efficiencies while managing server support processes consistently and securely around the clock.”

Uplogix has pioneered the industry’s first SRM platform that integrates critical Access, Control and Enforcement (ACE) remote management functions to alleviate the risk, complexity and costs inherent in managing distributed IT infrastructures such as branch offices and other remote locations.
