OPENGEAR’S SMART MANAGEMENT FABRIC ENHANCES REMOTE ACCESS

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 19 (Bernama) -- Opengear, a provider of secure and Smart Out of Band management solutions and a Digi International Inc company, has launched Smart Management Fabric (SMF), extending the value and functionality of its Network Resilience platform with dynamic routing-based intellectual property (IP) access.

In a statement, Opengear President, Gary Marks said the company is committed to providing world-class solutions for secure and resilient access to connect, configure, or restore connected information technology (IT) resources.

“Opengear has once again redefined out of band management with SMF and routed IP-access. SMF allows customers to leverage the Opengear solution to deliver the best possible day 0/1 experience, becoming the basis to deploy, manage, and remediate connected network resources from anywhere,” he said.

Opengear adds SMF to its Lighthouse Automation Edition (AE) software solution. Lighthouse AE and Opengear's appliance software have been upgraded to include dynamic routing, allowing for a complete management network overlay.

These updates enable users or machines, through automation or configuration tools, to connect to the resources they need to access or manage, supporting a range of commonly used technologies for virtualised environments.

The new SMF is the outcome of countless hours of interaction and engagement with customers, alliances and collaborators, whereby these exchanges have enabled Opengear to gain insight into how the latest market dynamics and technological advancements impact IT network and infrastructure management.

SMF forms a unified management framework and makes Opengear’s network resilience platform valuable for the whole IT organisation, from network engineers and system admins to support staff who need access to IP-based resources.

These teams can now quickly provision and access their server-management tools as well as manage any IP-based physical or virtual resources. Additionally, network engineers can use their favourite automation tools to provision, monitor, and manage their IP endpoints at scale.

Headquartered in New Jersey, United States, with a research and development centre in Brisbane, Australia, Opengear solutions enable provisioning, orchestration, and remote management of network devices via innovative software and appliances.
