Digi Remote Manager Enables Businesses to Maximize IoT
Investment and Empower Staff with Dynamic, Mission-Critical Network
Intelligence and Single-Pane-of-Glass Device Control
HOPKINS, Minn., Sept. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Digi
International®, (NASDAQ: DGII) (www.digi.com), a leading
global provider of Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity products
and services, today announced the latest release of Digi Remote
Manager®, its device and network management cloud
platform.
With these advances, Digi Remote Manager expands its ability to
simplify device deployment and maintenance, ensure network uptime
and security, and provides new levels of network management so that
the network team is not required to change their business processes
to accommodate rigid network tools.
Digi Remote Manager Unlocks Network Value, Delivers Higher
Resiliency
Digi Remote Manager is a cloud-based platform
that allows users to manage IoT devices and networks in any
environment from anywhere in the world. With the ability to support
applications from industrial IoT to branch connectivity,
intelligent traffic management and everything in between, Digi
Remote Manager unlocks the potential of IoT deployments across the
board. It transforms dispersed IoT devices to a holistic IoT
network, deriving operational and business value and delivering the
secure, resilient network required by organizations today.
ElectriCities of North Carolina
– an organization that provides a range of technical services to
support power services throughout North
Carolina, South Carolina
and Virginia – uses Digi Remote
Manager to maintain a complex network that covers thousands of
square miles and to collect data from an array of meters,
generators and telemetry equipment.
"I was here before Digi Remote Manager, so I can speak directly
to the difference that it has made in terms of both saving costs
and providing new value," said John
Coates, Lead Systems Coordinator for ElectriCities. "Our
ability to remotely maintain our network, collect data, and
optimize our systems with on-device intelligence has allowed us to
grow and maximize our output to best serve our members."
Advanced Configuration Features Bring Market Leading
Capabilities
Device Configuration, Monitoring and
Maintenance are the core of any device management software, but
Digi provides key differentiators that simplify processes and
provide additional
value.
- Device grouping allows users to create groups of devices
and remotely configure them by group identification rather than
product type, so the same device types can be programmed in
different ways without reverting to manual configurations on
individual devices. The ability to configure device groups brings
greater control to the network manager, providing much needed
flexibility to assign configurations regardless of the device
type.
- Custom scripts, such as Python, can be uploaded to
geographically dispersed devices to simply add the on-device
intelligence users require.
- Remote access to non-IP edge devices, such as sensors,
via the routers that they're connected to expands the array of
devices users can manage through the Digi Remote Manager
platform.
- Sub Account Management, the ability to create sub
accounts that can be managed from the parent account. Sub accounts
allow the parent account owner to restrict which devices sub
account users can access.
Complex Task Automation and Task Scheduling both enable
users to optimize their time and improve operational efficiency,
albeit in different ways.
- Task automation allows users to create a configuration
for a group of devices that is then automatically pushed to all
devices in that group, enabling pre-validation of configurations
and reducing cost to maintain the deployment.
- Task Scheduling offers the ability to pre-program
functions to run at a later time, easing the burden on network
engineers and managers while still ensuring a high-functioning
network.
Digi Remote Manager Opens the Door to Critical API
Integration
API Explorer allows users to browse and
test hundreds of APIs in a live environment on the platform to
validate that the code works before it is live throughout the
network.
Digi Remote Manager APIs allow you to integrate and run third-
party applications, both cloud based and on premises, to run data
rules, batches, as well as import and export data and to execute
reports providing deeper insight to device
deployments.
With 175 Security Controls, Digi Remote Manager Delivers
Critical Compliance
Software-defined
Security provides more than 175 controls to protect
data and devices and maintain compliance with ISO27002's ISMS,
NERCs critical infrastructure protection (CIP) guidance, the Cloud
Security Alliance (CSA) Cloud Controls Matrix, as well as relevant
HIPAA and NIST standards.
Robust reporting options and custom alerts give users a
full library of reports that they can easily pull to meet their
needs, while alerts are customizable to ensure specific performance
levels are maintained and the network is functioning properly.
Best-in-Class Customer Experience
Upgraded UI/UX
offers simpler and more intuitive management via a smarter,
customizable, widget-based dashboard. This "build what you need"
model allows users to create the views they want and to easily
access the data required to manage a dynamic network. Meanwhile, a
new Dark Mode option ensures that field engineers operating from a
tablet or phone in the field can easily see these dashboards on
their physical screens no matter the lighting or conditions.
Strong Analytics Engine Provide Network
Insights
Notification Center is a new addition
delivering direct communications to users including notices of
firmware updates, account renewal information, and instant alerts
of security threats.
Pre-build reports help save time while providing the high
demand data needed to efficiently manage an intelligent network as
well as providing data to maximize device uptime.
Real-Time Diagnostics facilitate maintenance and
troubleshooting.
"Businesses won't be able to realize the full value of their IoT
initiatives if they are not focused on maximizing its entire
network of devices," said Brian
Kirkendall, vice president of product management at Digi
International. "Digi Remote Manager transforms the way that
businesses are able to think about and deploy their projects.
From industry leading security software to maximized
uptime and simplified operations, we help build a secure and
valuable network that gives those businesses the peace of mind that
operations are within compliance without the need for elaborate
solutions."
Digi Remote Manager is available in multiple offerings, allowing
users to select the service that best meet each user's needs.
