IP Trading x Opengear: Official Australian Partnership Announcement
IP Trading has officially partnered with Opengear to provide Smart Out-of-Band management solutions across Australia. This partnership gives our customers secure, independent remote access to critical network infrastructure via the CM, OM, and ACM series. Engineers can now troubleshoot and manage routers or switches even during primary network outages.
Why Smart Out-of-Band (OOB) is Essential for Network Resilience
Smart Out-of-Band management acts as a secure "backdoor" to your network, ensuring you never lose access to your hardware during a primary link failure. While standard remote management relies on the production network, Opengear creates a parallel management system.
By integrating Opengear into your stack, IP Trading helps you eliminate "truck rolls" and costly on-site repairs. Whether you are managing a central data center or a remote edge site, you maintain total visibility and control through a dedicated path, often backed by 4G LTE or 5G cellular failover.
