Digi Usb Anywhere

It’s bad enough that we have to worry about these devices being lost, stolen, or damaged, but the vendors also make it more difficult to help save the environment and cut costs through the use of powerful virtualization technologies. Fortunately, Digi has seen the light — and the profit — and developed AnywhereUSB, a network-based device with USB-over-IP capability that makes it possible for many USB-based devices — including the loathed licensing dongle — to peacefully coexist with even the most heavily virtualized data center. In short, AnywhereUSB makes the network-connected USB device appear to be locally connected to the virtual server. (AnywhereUSB is useful in much more than just server virtualization scenarios but that is the reason that we’ve purchased the device at Westminster College.)
