SEH Unveils Dongle Server myUTN-80 For Networking USB Hardware License Keys
Hardware-Plug & Play Solution for the Safe and Central Dongle
Management Also for Virtualized Environments
Bielefeld, Germany (September 2nd, 2010). – SEH, a leading
network solution vendor, announces the launch of its dongle
server myUTN-80, a novel network solution specially designed
for dongle management. The compact device is simply attached
to the network and provides up to eight dongles via its USB
interfaces. Users operate their software protected with license
dongles as usual without attaching the dongles locally to their
PC. In this way, dongles are available centrally and with their full
functional range across the network for several users. At the
same time, they are safe from loss, damage, wear and tear and
theft. The dongle server myUTN-80 allows assigning each
dongle to a different user, customer or department. A broad
range of security features protects unauthorized access to the
dongles. Moreover, the device enables the utilization of USB
license dongles in server-based computing infrastructures and
virtualized environments based on VMware, Citrix XEN, and
Microsoft Hyper-V, which until now has been extremely difficult if
not impossible. MyUTN-80 is available from mid-September for
circa 795 Euro excluding VAT.
(IINews) - Dongles typically come with rather valuable software licenses
from several thousand Euros upwards. They protect licensed
software from unwanted distribution. Users insert the dongle
locally to a USB interface of their PC to run the software. If
another user would like to use the dongle, he has to pull it off this
PC and insert it into his own. With time, this may lead to wear
and tear of the dongle. Often, users have to waste time asking
colleagues about who has been using the dongle in question.
Dongles also often are lost or stolen. The myUTN-80 dongle
server protects dongles from damage, wear and tear and theft.
Its many special functions offer a simple and powerful dongle
management.
Efficient Dongle Management
The myUTN-80 dongle server by SEH is a novel network
solution for managing dongles via the network. Up to eight
dongles can be inserted into the USB interfaces. The software
SEH UTN Manager is installed on all user PCs who are to
access the dongles. As with locally attached dongles, only one
user can access them one at a time via a point-to-point
connection. The software vendors' license regulations are never
circumvented. SEH UTN Manager lets users see immediately
whether a particular dongle is available or in use by another
colleague. There is no need for time-consuming enquiries and
searching as to the whereabouts of dongles. As the dongles are
made available from a central space, the dongle server, they no
longer need to be inserted into local interfaces and pulled off
again. This minimizes the risks of wear and tear, other kinds of
damage, and loss.
Assigning Dongles to Users and User Groups
The myUTN-80 dongle server offers many features specially
designed for dongle management, e.g. the unique "Port Key
Control" function for releasing the USB interfaces of myUTN-80
for specific users or user groups (work groups, departments etc.).
This is especially interesting for service providers who manage
licensed software for their customers. They can manage and
release dongles for various customers via a myUTN-80 dongle
server without having to set up extra solutions for each customer.
Large Security Package for Dongles
The myUTN-80 dongle server offers many security functions
especially for the utilization and administration of dongles. Users
can encrypt the communication between dongle and network
with one click. IT administrators can simply block unwanted USB
devices, such as USB sticks, from being attached to myUTN-80,
so that they cannot import unwanted data or malware into the
network. Access protection is also part of this package. The
dongle server chassis is lockable. In addition, the dongle server
can be mounted on an optionally available rackmount kit for safe
operation on a server rack.
Dongles in Virtualized Environments
Utilizing a myUTN-80 dongle server, the user's workstation need
not possess a USB interface. The myUTN-80 dongle server
offers independence from USB interfaces, making it a working
option for utilizing dongles in server-based computing
infrastructures and virtualized environments based on Citrix
XEN, VMware, and Microsoft Hyper-V. The integration of USB
dongles in such environments has been extremely difficult, if not
impossible. The myUTN-80 dongle server makes this possible,
including the full functional range, as it functions like a virtual
cable extension across the network. Users can access dongles
in this way and utilize them just as if they were locally attached.
System Requirements and Service
The myUTN-80 dongle server for Ethernet networks
(10BaseT/100BaseTX) is compatible with Windows 32/64-bit
versions (Windows 7, Server 2008, Vista, Server 2003, XP).
Regular and free software updates, technical support, and a
warranty of up to five years come with the myUTN-80 dongle
server.
