- iDigi provides industry leading cloud platform for wireless
M2M -
MINNETONKA, Minn., April 28 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Digi International
(Nasdaq: DGII) today announced that all Digi and Rabbit embedded
products will be configured to easily connect to the iDigi(TM)
"cloud" out of the box. Cloud computing is Internet-based computing
that allows organizations to increase IT capacity or add
capabilities on the fly without investing in new infrastructure,
training new personnel or licensing new software. iDigi is the
embedded industry's first ready-to-use cloud computing platform for
Machine-to-Machine (M2M) network management. It enables secure
remote access, control and management of network-connected devices
and complete cloud-based application development. Customers can now
easily develop cloud-connected devices that create new revenue
streams for device manufacturers and their customers such as
ongoing service contracts and value-added services. iDigi allows
OEMs to deliver a premium product with enhanced customer service
and enables device end users to enjoy increased uptime with reduced
installation and ongoing maintenance costs.

"iDigi is the easiest way for device manufacturers to differentiate
their products while improving customer service and creating new
revenue streams," said Joel Young, CTO and senior vice president of
research and development, Digi International. "It enables a variety
of new device features like centralized device management and
remote configuration right out of the box. It is extremely easy to
connect directly to iDigi; no gateway is needed. Only Digi can
provide a complete solution - from device to cloud - out of the
box."
iDigi allows manufacturers to configure, upgrade and diagnose
problems with their products remotely via the iDigi cloud and
provide ongoing performance monitoring. This can reduce warranty
repair costs and improve customer satisfaction. It also allows OEMs
to deliver products with advanced features such as proactive supply
replenishment, remote configuration services and sale of
downloadable premium product features. This enables manufacturers
to offer a differentiated product and increase revenue.
iDigi-ready devices reduce costs for end users because ongoing
preventative maintenance via the iDigi cloud results in higher
reliability and reduced downtime and repair costs. Additionally, no
travel is required for device configuration and maintenance. iDigi
can also increase an organization's revenue by providing more
uptime for sales, new advertising revenue streams and increasing
availability of customer product information to drive
purchases.
With more than 70 years of engineering hours invested in its
development, iDigi is less than one fifth the cost of a typical
licensed software solution. It integrates easily with Digi's
comprehensive family of wired, wireless, embedded and non-embedded
communication products, and Digi's portfolio of embedded operating
environments including, Digi NET+OS 7, Digi Plug-and-Play with
Python, Digi Embedded Linux, Digi's BSP for Microsoft Windows
Embedded CE 6.0 R3 and Rabbit Dynamic C.
