New branding emphasizes that Device Cloud works with any manufacturers’ hardware

MINNETONKA, Minn. (April 17, 2013) – Digi International (NASDAQ: DGII) today announced that it will rebrand its iDigi Device Cloud™ as Device Cloud by Etherios™. Etherios, a division of Digi International and a Salesforce.com Cloud Alliance Platinum Partner, is a widely recognized cloud computing services provider with a longstanding track record of helping organizations realize and implement their cloud strategy. The rebranding emphasizes that Device Cloud, a strategic element for organizations that wish to connect their devices to mission-critical applications, works with any manufacturers’ hardware.

“Etherios’ services were born as cloud-based solutions, so the brand’s roots allow us to re-emphasize our focus on enabling connectivity to any manufacturers’ hardware,” said Larry Kraft, senior vice president of marketing, Digi International. “The Device Cloud was designed from the ground up to connect any device, to any application, anywhere in the world.”
