Introduction

The Lantronix Control Center (CC) enables out-of-band management by providing a centralized point of control for all Lantronix Local Managers and through this, of managed devices deployed throughout your distributed IT environment. With its web-based graphical user interface (GUI), the Control Center puts IT administrators in control of real-time data to easily manage, configure, and control all network devices and servers connected to Lantronix Local Managers.

The Lantronix Control Center is typically deployed on a pre-configured, dual CPU, rack-mountable server, and includes an embedded Oracle database engine. It is also available as a VM to run on a customer-provided ESXi environment. In 6.2, support for deployment in a Microsoft Azure environment.
