The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued patent #6,578,146 on June 10, 2003 to inventor R. Brent Johnson, president of SecureAgent Software, for the IDG 9074 Secure Communications Controller.

  This is Johnson's seventh patent.

  "Our controller was designed to offer customers a superior choice to meet connectivity and console consolidation needs", said Johnson.

  "As a replacement for IBM's 3174," he said, "the IDG 9074 has numerous benefits and features not offered by the IBM 2074, Visara SCON and related controllers."

  The IDG 9074 controller connects to a host via an ESCON adapter and provides continuous support of SNA and non-SNA sessions.

  In addition to offering secure communications, the IDG 9074 controller provides disaster recovery through remote access capability, instant replay features, both TCP/IP connectivity and coax output, support for SNA and non-SNA sessions and features not found in other controllers.

  For sale in Europe and the U.S. for about 18 months, the IDG 9074 is used by major corporations in the United States and Europe.

  SecureAgent Software develops software and hardware products that provise safe, secure data management and communications.

  For nearly two decades, the Tulsa-based company's products have offered security, data file management, enterprise management and remote access capability. Johnson's patented products provide data management capabilities to some of the world's largest data centers.
