Lantronix Launches SLC 9000 to Secure AI Data Centers and Mission-Critical Networks at Scale
IRVINE, Calif., June 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lantronix Inc. (NASDAQ:LTRX), a global provider of Edge AI and Industrial IoT solutions powering NDAA-compliant unmanned systems, critical infrastructure and resilient enterprise networks, today announced the SLC 9000 — an advanced Out-of-Band (OOB) console manager integrated with the Percepxion™ cloud management platform. (The SLC 9000 debuts at Cisco Live! 2026, booth 3226.)
Designed for AI data centers, hyperscale deployments, military installations, industrial facilities and remote enterprise sites, the SLC 9000 delivers secure remote access, autonomous provisioning, cloud-native fleet management and integrated cellular failover — minimizing downtime, cutting deployment costs and sustaining continuous visibility into mission-critical infrastructure.
The data center networking market is projected to grow from $46 billion in 2025 to $103 billion by 2030 (18% CAGR), driven by AI adoption across enterprise, telecom, financial services and government sectors.
"The SLC 9000 builds on two decades of secure remote infrastructure management to address the growing scale, complexity and security requirements of modern enterprise infrastructure," said Mathi Gurusamy, Chief Strategy Officer, Lantronix.
Key Benefits
