TOSIBOX UNVEILS GROUNDBREAKING SOLUTION FOR SECURE REMOTE CONNECTIONS

Employed by Caverion, TOSIBOX® Virtual Central Lock is a flexible software solution for secure remote connections 

Tosibox, a Finnish company that offers secure remote connection solutions, has today launched a new product which enables organizations to reap even more benefits from the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Unveiled at the SPS IP Drives 2016 exhibition, the TOSIBOX® Virtual Central Lock (VCL) is a premium software based solution which provides a flexible and secure remote connections solution for organizations irrespective of their size who utilize varying degrees of cloud computing. Caverion, which designs, builds, operates and maintains technical solutions for buildings, industries and infrastructure, is one of the first organizations to adopt Tosibox VCL.

“Our Virtual Central Lock is for organizations which utilize cloud services or have an existing server infrastructure. The product is also suited for smaller organizations, which now are able to start with a cost efficient remote connection solution scalable according to future needs,” says Tosibox CEO Tero Lepistö. “VCL will enable us to broaden our customer and partner base. As a growth oriented international company, the new solution is a significant growth driver for us. The new Virtual Central Lock is the hub of TOSIBOX VPN connections. It enables the implementation and management of large amounts of secure remote connections.”

Caverion, which designs, builds, operates and maintains user-friendly and energy-efficient technical solutions for buildings, industries and infrastructure, has implemented the TOSIBOX Virtual Central Lock in Finland for developing duplicated customer building automation systems. Caverion is highly satisfied with the development and deployment of TOSIBOX VCL. Adding and managing new customers is simple, and the security level very high.

“Digitalization benefits can be reaped only with secure and reliable remote connections. Especially in traditional industries, the connecting of legacy systems developed using diverse design principles has proven to be difficult,” says Tosibox CTO Veikko Ylimartimo. “TOSIBOX VCL has been developed together with customers. Caverion provided us with new ideas for the product functionality, we developed VCL together. With TOSIBOX VCL, Caverion can now develop its customer service even further. There is no product like TOSIBOX VCL in the market; Finnish technology knowhow and innovation strikes again.”

“When we set out to plan the new Caverion information network solution, we did not want to use traditional physical servers. This is why we began to develop a virtual environment with Tosibox, and this cooperation gave birth to TOSIBOX VCL,”, says Caverion Finland Product Development Manager Antti-Pekka Virjonen. “With Tosibox products, we are able to cost efficiently build a secure and easy to manage information network, which can be adopted to the differing needs of our customers. TOSIBOX VCL is at the heart of our system, so it has to be top notch in terms of usability and reliability.”
