When it comes to keeping your systems up and running, there’s no “maybe” about it. Companies simply need to be ready 24/7 for any eventuality. If they’re not, or if they can’t manage their operations properly, customers will seek a better alternative, and there goes the business.
That’s why Opengear (News - Alert)—a leading provider of critical infrastructure management solutions through advanced console servers, remote management, monitoring, and cellular out-of-band products—has been so successful; it does what it says it will, all the time.
Another reason for its success has been partnering with companies of a like mind. So it was no surprise when Opengear announced it has elevated its relationship with MicroAge to the Premier Partnership level.
MicroAge is a leading provider of information technology solutions and services, serving clients from the data center to the desktop with technology from industry-leading suppliers. The elevation is a natural progression of the two companies’ close working relationship.
"The strength of our partnership stems from a combination of Opengear's continued drive to innovate around remote management technology and MicroAge’s strong team of tech-savvy consultants who focus on creating solid client solutions," said Gary Marks, president of Opengear, in a statement. "We are happy to announce MicroAge as a Premier Partner and look forward to continuing to provide their clients with unmatched out-of-band solutions."
For its part, MicroAge was equally pleased with the collaboration.
"Opengear's constant developments in remote infrastructure management and monitoring have been crucial in creating future-proof client solutions," commented Rick Budd, senior account executive at MicroAge. "Opengear technology gives our clients reduced mean time to repair when networks falter, and extends the mean time between failures. I have a financial industry client with Opengear equipment deployed at every one of their 32 branches. We look forward to their ongoing advances in the industry."
The two companies will continue to work together to provide efficient out-of-band access to companies' data centers and other critical remote infrastructures.
