Overview:

The Opengear OM2224-24E-10G-DDC is a high-performance Operations Manager from the OM2200 series. It combines a 24-port console server with a 24-port Gigabit Ethernet switch, designed for secure out-of-band management and network automation in demanding edge and data center environments .

Network engineers and data center operations teams use this appliance to establish a resilient, separate management plane for critical infrastructure like routers, switches, and firewalls, especially when the primary network is unavailable . Its technical capability is anchored by a quad-core AMD GX-412TC processor, 8 GB of DDR3 RAM, and a 64 GB SSD, which supports advanced automation through Docker, Python, and Zero-Touch Provisioning . Security is built-in with TPM 2.0, secure boot, and an embedded firewall .

Deployment is in a 1U rack-mountable form factor. The "-DDC" suffix in the part number indicates dual DC power inputs, making it suitable for data centers that use -48V DC power distribution . This model is optimized for environments with 10 GbE uplinks. It is not suitable for AC-only facilities or deployments not requiring the integrated switching and console port density .

Key Features:

• 24 software-selectable RJ45 RS-232 console ports

• Integrated 24-port Gigabit Ethernet switch

• Dual DC power inputs for resilient operations

• 10G SFP+ uplink for high-speed management networks

• x86 platform with Docker and Python support
