Modern infrastructures are transforming into a complex mix of hybrid resources. While new tools are needed to manage these complex hybrid digital infrastructures, DCIM remains a core function that will always be required to keep track of and manage your data center.
For a company to use information effectively, it relies on an extensive and growing range of IT services. These services are controlled by data centers.
DFNT's Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) solution is a central resource management and optimization software for the data center. It covers the documentation, planning and management of all data center resources and facilities throughout their lifecycle.
Organizations using FNT's DCIM software are able to streamline processes and optimize the use of building infrastructure (power, cooling, floor space), IT infrastructure (networks, servers, storage), connectivity (cables, patches) and services (software, applications). It also enables the management of warranty and SLA information, as well as the allocation of ownership and usage rights to equipment. This complete overview of the system landscape allows managers to make informed decisions and the operations team to establish efficient processes.
Many things can be mapped in Visio. Unfortunately, a lot of information is missing. Some questions that a Visio cannot answer: "Which cards are installed?", "Where does the RJ45 Cat. 8 cable go?", "How many kilograms of weight do I have installed in the rack per m2?" In FNT Datacenter Capacity Management you will find the answers.
Today, a data center can usually no longer be run by just one person. There are different teams and different stakeholders. FNT Datacenter Capacity Management visualizes and simplifies the planning and development of your data center at the push of a button, avoiding overlaps or collisions. Reports are generated at the push of a button: "What has been planned?", "How has my data center changed over time and how will it still change?".
The question can be answered similarly to "Why do I need a printer?" The answer: "It's easier, faster and better than writing by hand." It's the same with data center connectivity management. Here, key questions are answered such as, "Where does my RJ45 cable go?", "Which ports on my patch panel are reserved, occupied, free or go to the next building?", "Is the installed fiber cable an OM3 or an OM4 and does it belong in a SAN or in an IP network?" With Datacenter Connectivity Management, you have end-to-end control of your network without going through complicated documentation or trying to remember the standard.
