| ILS Technology Launches secureWISE Service ILS Technology has announced that its secureWISE platform is available through a software-as-a-service business model. The new sales model benefits customers by providing semiconductor manufacturers and equipment OEMS with secure networking, collaboration and remote manufacturing control previously only available as a capital purchase. The secureWISE service combines the real-time, on-demand collaborative environment of ILS Technology's eCentre software and its ServiceNET virtual private network architecture by leveraging both hardware and software to provide a "defense in depth" security system that can link development teams, manufacturing sites and supply chain partners worldwide. secureWISE is currently installed in more than 20 semiconductor fabs in Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America. By moving to the software-as-a-service business model, ILS Technology removes upfront capital costs from the equation. Instead, chip manufacturers and equipment makers can securely share data by paying only a monthly service charge. This substantially lowers the barrier to entry for these industry-changing capabilities and also offers easy scalability for each new customer that needs to gain access to the network. As a combined service offering, secureWISE enables all members of a semiconductor production team - technology development partners, supply chain partners and multiple manufacturing sites - to share information in real time and remotely execute production commands. The result is dramatically increased productivity, shortened time to market, improved ROI and superior products resulting from fully protected, shared information. The secureWISE service offers the highest level of secure networking, collaboration and remote control accessible to chipmakers and other manufacturers. By outsourcing this function, they can focus their attention and resources on their core competency while benefiting from ILS Technology's expertise in secure, private networking and collaboration capability. secureWISE has a proven track record within the semiconductor industry and delivers unprecedented convenience and cost-effectiveness. The platform features a streamlined IT infrastructure with a centralized, "connect-once, access-many" network architecture, eliminating the need for multiple site-to-site VPN connections between multiple chip customers and fabs. The secureWISE platform also promotes cost efficiencies by delivering expert knowledge to where and when it is needed most, thus shortening ramp-up efforts and providing scalability for expansion efforts. Targeting diverse markets worldwide, secureWISE and other ILS Technology offerings deliver the benefits of secure collaboration. With a solid foundation in the semiconductor industry, secureWISE can be applied to many other manufacturing and collaboration applications. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
