The focus on operational management of infrastructure has been intense. Instead of arguing over speeds, feeds and port density, more and more customers are buying software that operates our networking to turn your worst day into just another day. Yes to automation, yes to asset management, configuration backups and automated upgrades and even larger yes to visibility tools. Lets face it, who wants to spend their weekends and nights in a hotel, plane or car  just to reboot a device or access the GUI console locally. In todays sponsored show, Opengear is diving into their delivery out of band solutions and more recently delivering secure remote access of network resources. You just can’t beat getting access to the serial port, management LAN or the server BMC at two in the morning to troubleshoot and/or prove that “it’s not the network“. We discuss How Opengear offered secure out of band access to infrastructure Opengear is full feature device with serial & LAN ports plus GUI access to web and console for operational work How Docker containers and other agents e.g. Thousand Eyes expand solution space in unexpected ways and eliminating shadow IT needs Device catalog for ease of use and port tags for multi-department use Securely access the GUI for firewall and server operations in a secure, controller micro segmented way A number of user stories demonstrating how Opengear can fit many requirements To schedule a demo head over to https://opengear.com/packet-pushers/ or find more information at on Opengear website.
