Opengear has announced the launch of its first technical certification program for the company’s Network Resilience platform.

Addressing the increasing demand for Smart out-of-band management and NetOps automation solutions, the Opengear Channel Certification Program gives sales engineers, solutions architects, and other network professionals in-depth knowledge about Opengear’s technology.

The Opengear Channel Certification Program includes a complete suite of critical tools, education, resources, and training to help channel members drive new revenue and address the challenges faced in selling and deploying network management solutions without ever visiting customer sites.

Participants also learn to effectively demo products and provide customer service remotely from anywhere.

The training courses cover topics ranging from command line interface access to firewall settings and configuring USB ports to managing a separate management plane, securing and conducting failover to cellular, and implementing advanced NetOps automation.

The program also includes a series of instructional videos and on-demand lessons. Participants must pass a series of quizzes and comprehensive tests to complete the program and earn a diploma showcasing their qualifications.

The new series marks another development in Opengear’s Americas channel certification program that recently added a new “Elite” tier providing new benefits and discounts for top-selling participants.
