The company will also be featured in a line-up of speaking and awards programs at the show.

Opengear's Interop Activities include:

  • Managing the Interop show network
    Opengear will provide the out-of-band access for device configuration and troubleshooting for the Interop NOC, show floor and off-show floor production infrastructure, including:
    • Logging configuration history for operators to use in forensic/diagnostic situations.
    • Providing a secondary secure wireless/cellular connection to key racks in the unlikely event of an out-of-band network outage. Uptime, redundancy and fault tolerance were key factors in designing the Interop NOC network and the Opengear solution can be used for emergency recovery or equipment configuration access in situations where a network device malfunctions and needs to be bypassed.
    • Opengear has designed its portion of the Internet NOC remote infrastructure management architecture to be set up and torn down very quickly, since it is a temporary event network.
