1. Future-Focused - The Network Resilience Platform
Klaus Gretencord

You’re network engineers, so we don’t have to explain the countless names you can call a console server. Instead, let’s talk about capabilities, because that’s what you really want to know about at 3 AM when you have an issue to resolve. Are you going to be able to remediate a disruption from your home? Or are you getting connectivity on Day One, when you’re sending equipment to an unmanned location?
In this workshop, Klaus Gretencord Sales Engineer for Opengear North – an engineer with 20+ years of experience, will be using his LIVE Lab environment to show you how to ensure Network Resilience in your infrastructure whether that’s an edge site, datacentre, production site, campus network, or branch offices - wherever in the world it’s located – from wherever you are.
Maximum uptime, always-on access, along with enterprise-grade security, are the standards of all devices in the future-focused Network Resilience Platform. This includes the award-winning NetOps Console Servers.
Using Smart Out-of-Band, NetOps automation, Failover-to-cellular and centralised access – Klaus will showcase the following capabilities remotely LIVE:
• Configuring Serial Ports
• Provisioning new devices ‘Mars Lander’ style
• Accessing network devices
• Power Cycling
• Configuring Users
• System Services
• Authentication
• NetOps Automation: docker containers, ansible
• Centralised access and control: Lighthouse Centralized Management
• System Administration

If you are a network or IT administrator, this is a first-hand look at the wide range of capabilities that the Future-Focused Network Resilience Platform devices with Smart OOB™ provide to professionals like you.
