Automated Infrastructure Management
Automated Infrastructure Management
Automated Infrastructure Management contributes significantly to the planning, administration, and growth of the enterprise networks. According to the ISO/IEC 18598 AIM standard, an automated infrastructure management (AIM) solution is defined as an integrated hardware and software system that has the ability to automatically detect when cords are inserted or removed. It also documents the cabling infrastructure, including connected equipment, facilitating data exchange with other systems and infrastructure management. Besides, AIM systems can convince users to monitor, manage and optimize the connected environment in real time, which also enhances the ability to manage the risk of management in technology.
Document cabling infrastructure
Automation deletion of the insertion and removal of cords
Network device discovery and their location information
Real-time monitoring of connectivity changes
The ISO/IEC 18598 standard subdivides these intrinsic benefits into the following areas:
CommScope’s imVision Automated Infrastructure Management (AIM) Solution
“CommScope’s imVision Automated Infrastructure Management (AIM) solution provides the visibility and insight you need to manage your network’s functionality with confidence.”
Business Advantage of Automated Network Management
Not only do today's networks face capacity constraints, but they also frequently have underutilised resources. An upgrade in capacity is time-consuming, expensive, and sometimes not even necessary. ImVision offers real-time data on the utilisation of physical-layer assets, supporting the planning process by tracking the use of panels, cabling, and switch ports.
In order to minimise human error and network outages, imVision streamlines time-intensive manual processes, creates electronic work orders, and allows guided administration of connectivity changes. Every modification is automatically fully documented when end-to-end circuits are visible. Moreover, in the event of a network outage, a root cause analysis can be promptly determined to assist in your swift return to the internet.
Physical layer real-time management assures that the stranded switch ports are identified and repurposed instead of remaining inactive and continue in power consuming. With this action, deployment and commissioning of servers are also optimised.
