Opengear

Reliable network and smart remote control

Opengear is a leading provider of secure and automated solutions for remote management of networks and IT infrastructure. They offer products and services that enable businesses to monitor, access and manage their networks - even during network outages.

The solutions combine out-of-band management, automated recovery and advanced monitoring in one platform. This gives IT and operations teams continuous access to the network - even during maintenance or unplanned outages. The result is higher uptime, faster troubleshooting and less need for physical presence in data centers or branch offices.

Opengear is used by large global corporations, service providers and public sector organizations that need to secure business-critical services, reduce operating costs and strengthen the resilience of complex networks.

Smart Out-of-Band management

Opengear's Smart Out-of-Band management(OOB) provides a separate, secure channel for managing network and server equipment, regardless of the status of the main network. This means that you can monitor, configure and restore equipment even when the main line is down, either due to errors, changes or security incidents.

OOB is established via a dedicated connection, 4G/5G, landline or modem, and provides secure access to routers, firewalls, switches, servers and management ports such as iDRAC, iLO, Redfish, etc. Access is secured with encryption, multi-factor authentication and role-based rights.

Key features of Opengear Smart OOB:

Independent connectivity: 4G/5G failover or dedicated OOB line
Console access: Serial, USB or IPMI/iDRAC/iLO
Automated error handling: Restart, re-config or rollback
Power management (PDU): Remote power cycle
Security: TLS, MFA, RBAC and full audit log
Scalability: Central overview across locations

Benefits of OOB

Reduced downtime: Immediate access to equipment, even in the event of WAN/MPLS failures or other outages.
Lower costs: Fewer call-outs and travel, as much can be resolved remotely. Especially valuable in distributed environments such as stores, branches, IoT/OT or the edge.
Increased resilience: A security lifeline that ensures control in any situation, from critical infrastructure (energy, healthcare, banking/finance, transportation) to complex data centers.
Better security and compliance: A separate, encrypted management path with MFA and full traceability, which also supports regulatory requirements.
Secure change management: Make upgrades with confidence that you can roll back quickly, without relying on production networks.
Scalability: Centralized management of many locations simultaneously, ideal when security incidents make in-band unavailable or compromised.

In short: Out-of-Band management is not a "nice to have" but a cornerstone of modern, robust operations. With Opengear's Smart OOB, you get secure, documentable access when you need it most - and a quick, measurable impact on both uptime and costs.
