"Opengear is an innovative company that delivers unique products to customers keen to streamline and improve management tasks, and I look forward to helping to develop both direct engagements and a stronger channel focus," said Derek Watkins, director of sales, Opengear EMEA.
Opengear designs, manufacturers and delivers the most feature rich, cost-effective, flexible solutions for secure remote infrastructure management. Opengear enables companies to access and manage virtually any electronic device on their network remotely and securely from anywhere, even if the network is down, to improve efficiencies and maximize business continuity. The company is headquartered in Sandy, Utah and has R&D operations in Australia and a sales office in the UK.
"To succeed in the today's economic climate, organizations must look at innovative methods of meeting remote support and management requirements, while reducing costs," said Robert Waldie, business development manager, Opengear EMEA. "This has prompted customers from the distributed enterprise to the data center, to adopt smart remote management technologies that streamline and automate many of the time consuming, expensive management and problem remediation processes -- reducing both OPEX (News - Alert) and infrastructure downtime.
