Todd Rychecky is VP Americas at Opengear. He discusses the evolution in out-of-band management, and how increasing automation makes console servers more relevant than ever.

As the leader of the Americas Sales team at Opengear, Todd is a trusted advisor on network resilience solutions to many large enterprise and hyperscale organizations. On this episode of Living on the Edge, Todd recalls how serial ports were “old news” twenty years ago when he started selling console servers. And yet today, they seem more relevant than ever. He walks us through the growth curve, from the original dumb terminal servers to today’s advanced Out-of-Band and NetOps solutions, and how companies are now looking for “zero touch management” solutions.
