Total solution
At this year’s NetWork’16 forum in Leipzig, R&M and FNT announced a joint integrated data centre solution which meets these requirements. This offering is an integration of R&M’s RFID-based cable tracking solution, R&MinteliPhy, with FNT Command‘s data centre cable management solution through API integration.
Information gathered from R&M’s RFID sensors flows into FNT Command software, providing a consolidated view of all cabling and port data. R&MinteliPhy monitors and sends data to FNT Command regarding:
· Real-time physical connectivity monitoring and documentation, which R&M’s sensor collects from RFID-tags on the cabling connectors
· Alerts on unsolicited changes for greater security
· Trending and alarming related to port capacity
At the same time, all work orders from FNT Command’s work order management can be sent to R&MinteliPhy for visual guidance, task tracking, and permission configuration.
Complete control of complex environments
“Capacity management in the data centre is becoming an increasingly important topic for infrastructure and operations managers,” explains said Dr. Thomas Wellinger, Market Manager Data Centre at R&M. “The impact poor connectivity visibility can have on data availability or uptime brings the topic of automation of connectivity documentation onto the task list - whether from an availability, operations, risk or compliance perspective. This combined solution empowers infrastructure and operational decision makers to make critical capacity and compliance decisions to increase data centre efficiency.”
"AIM systems are another important component for automation in the data centre," adds Oliver Lindner, Head of Business Line DCIM at FNT. "For the software-defined data centre on the logical level, we also need appropriate agile methods on the physical level aiming at continuously supporting changes."
The integration of R&MinteliPhy and FNT Command will be presented at the forthcoming NetWork'16. The forum for service and infrastructure management in IT and telecommunications is specifically aimed at managers looking for future-proof solutions for their data centres. "
