AUSTIN, TX, September 11, 2010 (Press-News.org) Uplogix, the leading provider of remote network management automation, announced that Tec-Nor, a data and communications systems integrator headquartered in Monterrey, Mexico, has deployed Uplogix appliances in VSAT applications for the oil & gas industry.

Tec-Nor is using Uplogix at both land-based sites using VSAT communications, as well as offshore energy platforms for persistent connectivity and automated management and recovery of hybrid infrastructure.
