EtherLite for Linux

Linux drivers are now available for Digi International's EtherLite line of network serial concentrators. Digi EtherLite serial concentrators simplify the process of adding RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485 serial ports to the network by combining the control and performance of local ports with the convenience of an Ethernet connection. Traffic from all 2, 8, 16 or 32 EtherLite ports is serviced by a single TCP/IP session. EtherLite serial ports appear as local TTYs under UNIX and as native COM ports under Windows NT. These locally administered, “hardware-style” ports allow greater control than standard serial concentrator ports. The Linux driver for EtherLite runs on kernel version 2.2 or higher and is supported on the following, or newer, distributions: Red Hat 6.0, Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 and SuSE Linux 6.3.

Private PaaS for the Agile Enterprise

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn’t scale? In today’s hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.

Stackato private Platform-as-a-Service technology from ActiveState extends your private cloud infrastructure by creating a private PaaS to provide on-demand availability, flexibility, control, and ultimately, faster time-to-market for your enterprise.
