With Westcon-Comstor Americas in place as Opengear’s first-ever distribution partner in Latin America, organizations across the region are now able to easily find, select and implement the Opengear solutions best suited for their specific networking use cases and business needs.

Particularly versatile and popular Opengear products include the IM7200 Infrastructure Manager, built to ensure business continuity through secure and reliable access to remote data center infrastructure, and the Resilience Gateway, which meets business’ network resilience and accessibility needs at branch offices and other remote sites. Opengear solutions also feature Zero-Touch Provisioning for automated provisioning of equipment over the network, alleviating the need for manual interaction on-site. On the software side, the Lighthouse centralized management platform provides customers with secure out-of-band access and visibility into all Opengear devices from a single pane of glass, drastically simplifying administration and automation of deployments.
