Lantronix is one of the leaders in smart connectivity solutions that enable cloud-based access to any device. This involves some specialty hardware that you might not just have lying around. Previously it was all done by magazine and telephone mail-orders. Today however, Lantronix has just opened their new ecommerce solution dubbed lantronixstore.com (clever huh?).
This will make it easier for your business to allow M2M (machine to machine) connectivity through the cloud:
“We believe a global ecommerce solution plays a key role in establishing ourselves as a leader in machine-to-machine (M2M) and cloud-based connectivity solutions, and is critical to our ability to scale the company while still providing superior customer service,” said Mark Tullio, Senior Director of Marketing at Lantronix. “We are thrilled to kick off our new fiscal year by expanding our commercial footprint with ecommerce in an effort to continuously improve customer loyalty and satisfaction.”
This new ecommerce solutions comes in the wake of Apple, Google, and Amazon all luanching their cloud services. Since we’re doing away with floppy disks, CD’s, and even those amazingly tiny USB thumb drives, something has to replace them. The cloud is something that will change computing forever.
Lantronix focuses on business uses that require large data sets and remote access to company machines from anywhere in the world. Amazon, Google, and Apple do the same thing except on a smaller scale for us consumers.
One thing that will be amazing with the whole cloud computing idea is being taken on by the gaming company, OnLive. What OnLive is trying to do is bring graphic and processor intensive games to your television set for a fee payable on their ecommerce solution (of course). They will have all of the off-site power to stream the game to your television. This enables you to play games you might not have the machine for.
The same thing can be done for just about any project, product, or application that needs excessive computing power, and it’s all done through the cloud. The day when all computing hardware needs are satisfied via the cloud is likely coming soon, so be ready for it. Lantronix, Google, Apple, Amazon, and many other companies have completed the first step of putting all data in the cloud.
