DFAT has rolled out sixteen Opengear Console Managers to eight international sites with over two hundred to be installed by 2009/2010.
The new system provided by Opengear will be more cost-effective for the Department allowing them to remotely maintain their servers, networks and telecommunications as well as deal with IT incidents, rather than send individual technicians to each location where a problem is experienced.
Opengear CEO, Bob Waldie, said Opengear was very pleased to be working with DFAT to provide the new network of console servers.
"By providing a system where server, network and telecommunications issues can be dealt with remotely from one location systems administrators can now avoid much of the cost associated with sending technicians to individual sites", Mr Waldie said.
