Fast Facts �How important is your Data Centre to you ?

If your IT system goes down, will the rest of your business follow ?

Fast Facts �Wake Up Call

Fast Facts �Network Management

� Configuration Management � Keeping track of device settings and how they function

� Fault Management � Dealing with problems and emergencies in the network (router stops routing, server

loses power, etc.) � Performance Management

� How smoothly is the network running? � Can it handle the workload it currently has?

� Physical Cabling Infrastructure Management ?

Fast Facts �Why automated programs for Admin?� Manual Data can never be 100% accurate

� Getting close to 100% explodes the costs

CMDB

� Analyzer monitors the patch position on the patch panels.

� The Discover agent detects and monitors end-devices.

� When any changes occur, the monitoring Analyzer or Discovery network agent will send data to IM database for update.


How it works � Overview


IM Software � As a Documentation tool

The data pane will list all relevant information about a selected object from either the Search or Navigate tabs


IM Software � Component�s detail data

The Circuit pane displays how selected items from within the database are physically connected together


IM Software � Detail Circuit Information


IM Software � Viewing the Physical Placement
