Central management that scales with your network

• Call Home to Lighthouse over cellular for highly available remote access to failed or firewalled remote networks, or new network installs.
• Dialpool central dial-out PSTN-connected Opengear appliances – share out-of-band access with operators without an analog line, featuring periodic dial-out testing.
• Console Gateway enables SSH to any console port by name, wherever it is on your network and however it’s connected.
• Search and sort managed devices with smart groups – quickly drill down by geography, application or managed device type.
• Pass-through authentication uses central AAA credentials to manage remote consoles – log and authenticate all access even during remote site outages.
• Security made simple, all sensitive management sessions encrypted with strong cipher HTTPS or SSH and optional VPN.

Centralized Management Benefits

• Reduce IT costs by streamlining overall operations, administration and maintenance of Opengear managed devices.
• Reduce complexity with a single pane of glass view of your distributed equipment.
• Reduce mean time to repair (MTTR) and downtime with intuitive out-of-band access from anywhere, anytime.
• Aggregate all networking and IT gear into a single interface for quick alarming, access and problem remediation from a centralized location.

Who can most benefit from Lighthouse centralized management?

Distributed Enterprise

Highly available access and control of network, IT and power infrastructure for initial provisioning, ongoing maintenance and incident response. Enable operators to reach remote consoles without requiring in-depth knowledge of how they’re connected, and authenticate using their corporate AAA credentials.

Managed Service Providers

Implement network routing and firewall policy changes with confidence, minimize on-site call outs and truck rolls. Monitor customer premises equipment, environment and network availability. Manage equipment where inbound access would otherwise be impractical or impossible, such as in hospitals or behind third-party firewalls. Differentiate your service offering and increase client satisfaction.

Lab Environments

Access and control thousands of managed consoles and PDU outlets from a single IP. Support for low-level scripting to automate lab setup, testing and tear down.
