Power Management

Traditional console servers provide in band and out of band access to IT equipment such as servers, routers, switches, firewalls, and VOIP. Opengear console servers have evolved far beyond traditional to provide a best of breed power management solution with leading edge technology in infrastructure management.

Systems administrators now have one window to manage all their IT, power and environmental infrastructureno matter where it is located or how it is connected. Opengear console servers control the widest selection PDU and UPS devices and provide power metering at the managed device level with outlet control. No other vendor logs and alarms on temp readings from such a spectrum of sources in the data center. We do this all in band or out of band while retaining affordability.
