## Long description

The Opengear CM8008 console server is a reliable device designed for secure out-of-band management of network infrastructure in data centers and enterprise environments. Equipped with 8x RS232 ports and USB console connectivity, it ensures dependable remote access, monitoring, and administration of IT hardware. Operating on an ARM v8 platform powered by a Cortex-A53 processor with 4096 MB of RAM, the unit supports advanced administration tools such as Python, Docker, and Ansible. It features robust security protocols, including TACACS+, WPA-RADIUS, IPSec encryption, and embedded TPM 2.0 physical security. The compact black and red chassis measures 220 x 177 x 44 mm, weighs 1.55 kg, and includes dual power supply units supporting an AC input voltage of 110-240 V.
Advantages
The Opengear CM8008 console server delivers high reliability and operational continuity for critical IT environments through robust security and management features. Its Smart OOB technology allows IP-based device management, ensuring administrators maintain access even during primary network outages. Built-in support for Zero Touch Provisioning simplifies deployment, while the ARM v8 platform accommodates automation tools like Ansible, Python, and Docker containers for tailored operational workflows. Enhanced physical security is provided by TPM 2.0, and the inclusion of dual power supply units ensures continuous operation in the event of a power source failure.
Suitable for
Data center out-of-band management of network infrastructure
Remote administration of servers, routers, and switches
Enterprise environments with limited rack space
Environments requiring secure serial console management
Automated IT infrastructure provisioning and monitoring
This console server may not be suitable for small home offices or networks that do not utilize serial-based equipment or require enterprise-grade out-of-band management features. Additionally, operations requiring a high port density exceeding eight serial connections will necessitate a larger hardware model.
