BLUEGIGA RELEASES A NETWORK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR THE ACCESS SERVER PRODUCT FAMILY

Bluegiga releases a comprehensive network management system, named Bluegiga Solution Manager (BSM), for Bluegiga Access ServerTM product family. Bluegiga Solution Manager enables centralized remote management, configuration, and updating of Bluegiga Access Servers.

Espoo, Finland, 11  April 2007 - Bluegiga�s successful access server product platform takes a huge step forward as Bluegiga releases the new network management system. Bluegiga Solution Manager enables the network managers and administrators to manage, configure and monitor Bluegiga Access Servers remotely. This makes the installation and management of medium and large scale systems significantly easier. The management system runs on Linux based computers and, being lightweight, it also runs on over 2G and 3G cell phone networks at a reasonable cost.

For the administrative user, Bluegiga Solution Manager offers a simple but powerful web interface for performing management and configuration tasks. Bluegiga Access Servers can be grouped and named, and several devices can be simultaneously configured with minimum effort. The system also offers advanced functions such as user management, alerts, exporting and importing configurations.

�With our new network management system we lead the way for the industry and provide our customers with unmatched functionality and usability. The great advantage of Bluegiga Solution Manager is that it is completely integrated to our access server platform, making the deployment really easy for our customers. Another major advantage is that Bluegiga System Manager can be tailored to manage customer specific solutions, not just our access servers�, comments Mikko Savolainen, Customer Service and Product Director at Bluegiga.

Bluegiga Solution Manager can be purchased as a hosted service or, alternatively, on a CD to be run and managed at customer premises. Bluegiga Solution Manager hosting service is available during the May 2007 and the CD-version will be shipping during the second quarter of 2007.
