"We've been using Digi's PortServer TS line of terminal servers featuring RealPort with Encryption software for several months now," said Kevin Doucette, manager of Opera interfaces, MICROS-Fidelio Software. "It allows us to securely transmit confidential information for our clients. As we rely on the Internet more to transfer information, the security provided by the RealPort with Encryption software becomes more important." MICROS-Fidelio International transmits confidential information such as room status, guest names, VIP status, address information and other secure data for hotel chains worldwide. The information is managed from a centrally located data warehouse which is connected to remote serial devices such as telephone PBX (Private Branch eXchange) An inhouse telephone switching system that interconnects telephone extensions to each other as well as to the outside telephone network (PSTN). systems, voicemail systems, video service systems, point-of-sale devices and many more. The Digi PortServer TS enables these devices to communicate directly with the data center, and the RealPort with Encryption software provides a secure port in which to transmit this data. This eliminates the need for each hotel to house its own server, decreases on-site hardware and allows for better customer support. "It is vital that we provide a secure software solution for our customers, and the Digi PortServer TS including RealPort with Encryption enhances that security," Doucette added. "It was also extremely easy to implement. No software changes were required, including any changes to the existing software configurations."
