The OMNITROL appliance is the industry's first real-time business process and workflow server appliance that removes middleware complexity and delivers business intelligence on the shop floor -- at the network's edge.

The X-Internet Revolution is Evolving the Edge of the Network
The Internet is being transformed. Commercial pressures and regulatory requirements are driving companies to establish a real-time view and control of their operations. The Extended Internet ("X-Internet") is a business-led innovation on the edge of today's enterprise infrastructure to reap the benefits from sensor-based technologies for real-time tracking, monitoring, traceability and control of their work-in-process, inventory, assets, and physical workflow.
Convergence Solves Deployment for RFID and the X-Internet
The OMNITROL is the first X-Internet appliance that goes beyond RFID-specific solutions to deliver the real-time business process optimization without the associated expenses and complexity of traditional legacy middleware and backend customization deployment approaches. The intelligent-edge economics enabled via the plug-and-deploy OMNITROL appliance dramatically reduces deployment costs by as much as 80 percent over existing market solutions.
"We are very excited about being selected for the OMNITROL," said PG Menon, vice president of marketing for NextHop Technologies. "The OMNITROL appliance's network and business application convergence, compounded by its dramatic economic value proposition, is rapidly transforming the landscape of the real-time enterprise network and appliance-based service delivery."
"Using NextHop's best-in-class Unified Networking Software, we obtained all our switching, routing and wireless control software in one package," said Raj Saksena, CEO of Omnitrol Networks. "Their powerful turnkey network layer solution was integrated in just three months, enabling us to deliver the industry's first truly integrated X-Internet service appliance on time and on budget."
