Opengear (News - Alert), a provider of critical infrastructure management solutions through advanced console servers, remote management, monitoring, and cellular out-of-band products, recently celebrated its tenth anniversary. In the last ten years, this Utah-based company has experienced 50 percent growth in year-over-year sales in addition to continually increasing the number of resellers implementing Opengear's solutions.
"Ten years is certainly an exciting milestone for our company," said Bob Waldie, founder and chairman of Opengear. "Looking back, we've changed and grown so much in a relatively short amount of time. What started out with a few basic out-of-band management products has expanded into a multi-line enterprise with solutions addressing a wide variety of remote management and data center needs, from locomotives to education providers to telecom. We have always been innovation-driven in our work to provide businesses the best options to help them promote business continuity."
Opengear designs, manufactures and delivers solutions for secure remote infrastructure management. With Opengear, companies can access and manage mission-critical systems, devices and equipment remotely and securely, even if the network is down, to save costs and maximize business continuity.
The company generates most of its revenues from exports. Opengear has gained expertise and a strong leadership position in out-of-band management (OOBM) technology. Implementing OOBM solutions for remote data centers makes controlling these distant data centers easier by providing infrastructure monitoring independent of the state of the data center itself. Also, more OOBM solutions provide cellular access to remote sites so that access remains possible when primary networks fail. Remote cellular access makes troubleshooting system and network outages more efficient by early identification of the cause of an outage, resulting in quicker mean time to repair, often without the need to visit the data center.
"We are thrilled to mark a full decade of Opengear," said Rick Stevenson, Opengear’s CEO. "But more than that, we're continually looking toward the future both for our company and for the industry as a whole. We've had a great ten years, and we expect to have many more."
