Germany’s SEH has launched  the myUTN-130 Scannerserver, a USB virtualisation solution designed for non-network-enabled USB scanners.

As a rule, scanners are designed for local attachment to a PC or notebook. If users need to scan a document but have no access to a scanner at their own workstations, they have to ask a colleague for help who has a scanner attached or they have to disconnect a scanner elsewhere and attach it to their own PC. Both methods are inefficient and time-consuming. The myUTN-130 Scannerserver makes non-network-enabled scanners available for several users across a network, including their full functional range.

The Scannerserver connects scanners to virtualised environments (Citrix, VMWare, Microsoft Hyper V etc.).

Depending on the original and the scan method, the Scannerserver offers scan data compression rates of more than half of the original size, an advantage in networks with low available bandwidth. For users, the scanner operates as if it were locally attached.

If a scanner operating at a remote site in a Wide Area Network (WAN) with a narrow bandwidth connection (virtualised environments, server-based computing), insufficient bandwidth may become an issue when the scanner sends raw data to the central server. The myUTN-130 Scannerserver is able to compress scan data, leaving more bandwidth for other applications.

To protect connected scanners and scan-data from unauthorised access, the myUTN-130 Scannerserver offers security functions such as access control, authentication, password protection, and encryption
.
System Requirements and Service

The IPv6-enabled myUTN-130 Scannerserver operates in all Ethernet networks including Gigabit (10BaseT/100BaseTX/1000BaseT). It is compatible with Windows 32/64 bit versions (Windows 7, Server 2008, Vista, Server 2003, XP).

The myUTN-130 is now available for 275 Euro excluding local taxes.
