Smart Out-of-Band Management is the next generation solution for managing critical network infrastructure 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 customised 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 a integrated 16 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







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
