"Opengear console servers allow Peak 10 network engineers to remotely administer critical network devices," said Devon True, senior network engineer at Peak 10, Inc. "Peak 10 picked the IM4248-02 console server because it allows secure access to remote devices and the use of straight-through Ethernet cables to create console connections to our Cisco routers and switches, making installation and implementation easy."
