SmartOOB

Opengear’s solution raises secure remote access and infrastructure management to a new level. SmartOOB extends traditional out-of-band management to monitor and log systems health and environmental conditions, proactively detecting faults before they become failures.

- Securely access your networking devices, servers and power equipment and monitor for console warnings from managed device
- Proactively detects faults before they become failures
- Automated response with customized rules and policies undertaking complex actions depending on what is detected
- Monitors and controls UPSes and power status (disruptions, surges, power cycling)
- Enables monitoring of temperature, humidity, motion, water and door access
- Built-in TFTP server increases efficiency and mitigates the risk of infrastructure failures by enabling remote provisioning, maintenance and recovery
- Bulletproof console management with integrated 16-48 port console server

Advanced Monitoring

Advanced monitoring provides notification of server kernel panics, network console warnings, unplugged cables and environmental alarms.

- Alerts can be automatically escalated for protracted outages, and preset complex remedial actions taken, depending on what is detected
- Embedded storage stores console session logs for audit and troubleshooting
- TFTP server for remote backup and restore of managed device configuration, OS upgrades and recovery

Built-In Redundancy

Opengear devices are built with redundancy for increased network resilience and business continuity.

- Dual AC feed inlets and dual internal power supplies support automatic failover for increased uptime
- Dual USB ports allow attachment of peripherals like additional storage and USB consoles
- Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports facilitate connections to both primary and secondary networks

Strong Security and Authentication

Efficiently and securely manage your network infrastructure with:

- Lock down management interfaces with local and remote AAA including Active Directory, Kerberos, TACACS+ and RADIUS with RSA SecurID
- Encrypt sensitive management traffic with IPsec and OpenVPN
- Comprehensive logging features for compliance and audit trail
- FIPS 140-2 validated encryption for government and military applications
- Single point of authentication and policy enforcement, monitor and log each management keystroke
