PISCATAWAY, NJ--(Marketwired - Jul 27, 2016) -  Opengear (www.opengear.com), a leading provider of critical infrastructure management solutions through advanced console servers, remote management, monitoring, and cellular out-of-band products, announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has recognized Opengear in its 2016 Network Connectivity Partner Program Guide. This annual guide highlights service providers, infrastructure providers and master agents whose telecom, cloud and connectivity offerings help partners navigate and succeed in the age of IT-Telecom convergence.

"The companies in this year's 2016 Network Connectivity Partner Program Guide have built partner programs that provide real, tangible value and support to its members," said Robert Faletra, CEO of The Channel Company. "These vendors offer impressive product portfolios, gold-standard marketing and sales assistance, and the high level of training solution providers need to grow their Network Connectivity revenue. We are pleased to introduce this year's guide to help channel partners find and connect with these outstanding technology suppliers."  

Opengear's award-winning IT infrastructure management solutions are designed to provide network resilience and ensure connectivity even when primary connections fail -- and especially at data centers and remote sites where always-available network access is essential to business continuity. Opengear products feature embedded Smart OOB™ technology that offers intelligent out-of-band management through automatic remediation and alerting when network connectivity issues occur. The company's suite of network management products also feature built-in Failover to Cellular™, which transparently switches network devices over to cellular connectivity in the event that the primary connection goes down.

"We're proud of our robust and growing slate of channel partners who understand the importance of ensuring network resilience for their customers -- no matter what," said Bryan Keepers, Channel Sales Manager, Opengear. "Our solutions provide the dependable and resilient network connectivity our partners' customers both count on and require every day, and we're honored to be recognized by CRN in its 2016 Network Connectivity Partner Program Guide for these initiatives."
