Opengear IM7216-2-24E-DAC Infrastructure Management Equipment – Remote Monitoring

The Opengear IM7200 is a state of the art infrastructure management solution which streamlines management of network, power and server infrastructure in data center and remote environments, ensuring business continuity, secure and reliable network access, monitoring and control for local and remote operations teams.

Problem: Data centers, colocation facilities and network exchange points host a wide array of critical infrastructure from a variety of vendors. The challenge and complexity of managing these environments securely and efficiently, and keeping the network connections up and running, continues to grow. For most organizations today, this infrastructure is fundamental to doing business and downtime costs are staggering.

Solution: Opengear next generation IM7200 combines Smart OOB™ out-of-band management with Failover to Cellular™ and delivers proactive monitoring and remediation, even during network outages. The result for the customer is minimized disruption and downtime. IM7200 solutions are deployed where they are most effective – alongside critical IT and communications infrastructure, to keep networks up and businesses running.

Console management raised to a new level with Smart OOB™
IM7200 extends beyond traditional out-of-band management. Proactively detect faults before they become failures. Monitor and log systems health and the physical environmental conditions for audit trail and forensics. Monitor and control UPS and power status. Alert operators and undertake per-set complex actions depending on what is detected. Bullet proof infrastructure management with integrated 8 – 48 port console server. Software selectable pinouts, no adapters. Gain immediate access to consoles via your preferred SSH client or integrated HTTPS AJAX web terminal. Smart OOB™ enables remote setup, ongoing maintenance and disaster recovery of mission-critical IT, power and network infrastructure, even when the network is down.

Failover to Cellular™ and end to end wireless connectivity
Out-of-band 4G LTE connections to remote infrastructure enable wireless management visibility to critical infrastructure. Wireless local management (Wi-Fi) provides connectivity to environmental and power elements around the data center. Embedded Wi-Fi and 4G LTE connections provide wireless technician access and complete independence from infrastructure faults. When things go wrong with the primary network connection, Failover to Cellular™ automatically restores site connectivity using high-speed 4G LTE. This transparent automatic failover and failback integrates seamlessly with existing IT systems and network infrastructure, ensuring uninterruped availability for remote networks. No manual intervention.

Future proof infrastructure
Purpose built IM7200 is the next generation smart solution for managing critical IT and communications infrastructure. Embedded fiber ports allow for easy integration into environments without copper availability between rooms and rows. Integrated high-speed 4G LTE connections improve time to resolution and provide always-available access, remote setup, ongoing maintenance and control, and disaster recovery. The unique combination of Smart OOB™ out-of-band access and Failover to Cellular™ embeds intelligence at the network edge to strengthen network resilience and prevent failures.
