Silex Releases USB Server For Sharing USB Devices On LANs

Hey, this is pretty cool....

Matthew Friedman writes in Networking Pipeline:

Silex Technology America Inc. has unveiled a universal serial bus (USB) device server that will allow small business and home users to share USB 2.0 Hi-Speed devices such as scanners, printers and external hard drives over a local area network (LAN).

The SX-2000U2 is a one port, 10/100 Base-TX USB 2.0 device server that instantly converts USB 2.0 Hi-Speed devices into shared network resources. When connected, USB devices appear and function as locally connected devices to any system on the LAN. The SX-2000U2 provides IP filtering for enhanced security and is compatible with both Windows XP and Windows 2000. The unit includes the SX Virtual Link utility, which allows users to manage all of the networked USB devices on the LAN in a single window.
