Opengear‘s Lighthouse Centralized Management Solution has been named a 2020 Cloud Computing Security Excellence Award winner by TMC for delivering “unparalleled network resilience and smart management tools for cloud providers.”

The Cloud Computing Security Excellence Award recognizes companies that have most effectively leveraged cloud computing in their efforts to bring new, innovative offerings to market.

The Lighthouse Centralized Management solution from Opengear is a centralized out-of-band (OOB) management platform specifically designed for users with a focus on security, scalability, and preparing for a future of network automation.

The solution leverages Opengear’s SmartOOBTM technology to separate the management plane from the production plane, which is generally prone to attacks on user data.

Smart tools like failover to cellular and NetOps automation work in concert with OOB to provide essential benefits ranging from remote monitoring and management to continued internet connectivity during an ISP outage.
