Lantronix launches SLC 9000 console manager for AI data centers
Lantronix Inc. (NASDAQ: LTRX) announced the launch of its SLC 9000 out-of-band console manager integrated with the Percepxion cloud management platform. The product targets AI data centers, hyperscale deployments, military installations, industrial facilities and remote enterprise sites.
The SLC 9000 provides secure remote access, autonomous provisioning, cloud-native fleet management and integrated cellular failover capabilities. The device offers 16-, 32- or 48-serial ports through RJ45 or USB connections, or up to 32 ports of integrated Ethernet Layer 2 switching.
Key features include autonomous site deployment that auto-configures devices and enrolls serial ports over DHCP or 4G/5G networks without requiring on-site engineers. The system includes always-on access with integrated cellular failover and centralized monitoring through Percepxion's tamper-evident audit logs.
The product incorporates an API-first architecture with OpenAPI 3.0.1-compliant REST interface for integration with NetBox, Ansible, Terraform, ServiceNow and custom configuration management databases. Fleet-wide firmware and configuration backup capabilities are managed through the Percepxion platform.
"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 at Lantronix.
The company stated the data center networking market is projected to grow from $46 billion in 2025 to $103 billion by 2030, representing an 18% compound annual growth rate driven by AI adoption across enterprise, telecom, financial services and government sectors.
The SLC 9000 provides a migration path for existing SLC 8000 customers and includes Percepxion cloud management via software-as-a-service subscription. Lantronix will demonstrate the product at Cisco Live! 2026 at booth 3226 from June 1-4 at Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas.
