USB over Network Connector

This software appliance allows you to share USB drives over the network.

USB Network Gate lets you easily connect one or more remote USB devices to your computer over Ethernet (Internet/LAN/WAN). The device will appear as if it is connected locally. As long as the remote machine physically hosting the device is connected to you through a network, it will be accessible whether in another country or in the next cubicle. This remote device could be a scanner, printer, webcam, modem, USB dongle or anything else that connects through the USB port. This software is available in three versions to work on Windows, Mac and Linux. This has a simple and easy to use interface. It is intuitive enough that most users should get familiar with it quite easily. Getting productive with it should not take much time. It implements network traffic compression and improved sharing mechanism.

USB Network easily connects one or more remote USB devices. The licensing is based on the number of USB devices to be shared not on number of computers sharing it. The software actually intercepts USB port activity of a shared USB device and redirects it via TCP/IP network, creating the sharing opportunity. All you have to do is to just plug the device in and it will automatically appear on the remote side of the connection. You can add a password to control remote user access. It is possible to use this tool on virtual machines too. Install USB Network Gate on a guest operating system of the virtual machine/blade server and access your USB peripherals from a remote virtual desktop. This is a very good product. If you are looking for a similar solution, you should try it in your exact workflow.

With USB over Network Connector you will never experience any issues accessing and using the USB devices that are plugged into remote computers. You can work with those devices as if they were physically connected to your local machine. All that is needed to do for that is install USB over Network Connector on the computer with USB device physically attached (server) and on the computer where you want to use this device (client). USB over IP Connector will do all the rest. No additional hardware needed! BTW you can choose whether Mac, Linux or Windows machine will be a client or a server.
Not only this software allows accessing USB devices over Ethernet, but it's also suitable for servers and workstations virtualization. I.e. It will help you access and use local USB devices in a virtual session. Thanks to USB over Network Connector you can easily work with USB devices on guest OS of such virtual environments as VMware ESX, Citrix XenDesktop, Microsoft Hyper-V, Windows Virtual PC, etc.
With USB over Network Connector it's possible to work with any local USB devices in a remote session.
It also allows you to integrate its useful functionality into your own software (OEM licensing).
