What are you guys using for OOBM in your DCs?

I've been looking at OpenGear. I think it'll do what I want, but their sales stuff is just leaving me with questions because it's so high level.

What I want is a device I can remote into, in the event that someone makes a bad commit on our core switch or firewall in our datacenter, that will have console access to these devices. Ideally console to switches, firewalls, and server (by this I mean iLo/DRAC, etc).

OpenGear is confusing me because it seems like it's supposed to act as an internet failover for my datacenter... unless I'm reading it wrong. I just want a cell line I can dial into if things go south in the DC which is remote.
