Opengear is a global computer network technology company headquartered in Piscataway, New Jersey, U.S., with R&D operations in Brisbane, Qld, Australia.
The company develops and manufactures "smart out-of-band infrastructure management" products aimed at allowing customers to securely access, control and automatically troubleshoot and repair their IT infrastructure remotely, including network and data-center management, for resilient operation.
Opengear solutions provide always-available wired and wireless secure remote access, with failover capabilities to automatically restore site connectivity. This enables technical staff to provision, maintain and repair infrastructure from anywhere at any time, as if they were physically present, thereby enabling both the operational costs and the risk of downtime to be reduced.

Products
Opengear's management products include CM7100 and IM7200 advanced console servers that streamline management of network, server, and power infrastructure in data centers and colocation facilities; and ACM5000 and ACM5500 remote management gateways that deliver secure remote monitoring, access and control of distributed networks and remote sites. The Lighthouse Centralized Management platform then provides a single point of scalable, secure management for these Opengear appliances and connected devices.
All Opengear products provide a secure alternate out-of-band path to the managed infrastructure, enabling accessibility even during system or network outage. They monitor, access, and control all critical infrastructure at all local and remote sites, from applications, computers and networking equipment, to security cameras, power supplies and door sensors - to proactively detect faults and remediate before they become failures.
Opengear's products are built on a Linux software base, and the company is an active supporter of the open-source community.
