Product Briefing Outline: Imera Systems has announced
its next-generation network virtualization solutions for
cross-enterprise e-Diagnostics and equipment knowledge base access. The
solutions are claimed to connect manufacturers and equipment vendors to
maximize productivity and reduce unscheduled equipment downtime with no
VPN connection, or a third party service provider without IP leakage.
Problem: Legacy e-Diagnostics solutions require VPN
connections along with third party service providers. This raises
security and compliance concerns for manufacturers. Imera’s
e-Diagnostics solution allows equipment consoles to be visually shared
with remote experts from within the manufacturer's protected fab
network. Remote vendor experts from anywhere in the world, on public or
protected corporate networks, can instantly diagnose and resolve
equipment problems. Shorter time-to-resolution means higher equipment
availability and higher productivity for manufacturers.
Solution:
Imera’s knowledge base access solution enables equipment vendors’
on-site personnel to securely access vendor knowledge base systems from
within the manufacturer’s protected fab network. Information access
flow can be managed by manufacturers and equipment vendors through
Imera’s cross-enterprise federated protocols. Imera’s solution protects
customers’ process as well as knowledge IP and shortens problem
resolution without compromising the manufacturer’s information security
controls.
Applications: Imera’s network
virtualization platform has been qualified as the standard secure fab
access and collaboration solution by leading foundries and companies in
the semiconductor ecosystem.
Platform: Imera's
technology features an integrated end-to-end, thin-client
terminal-based virtual network - ‘ThinNetwork’ - that overlays existing
enterprise network, security, and computing infrastructure. Imera's
solutions support Unix, Windows, and Linux environments.
Availability: July 2008 onwards.
