DCIM Software

Some hardware testing tasks, such as extensive cabling and networking testing, can be laborious and timeconsuming to do manually. In addition, a manual approach might not always be effective in finding certain classes of defects.

THE CORE FEATURES

 

Organize Sites, Racks, Devices, and their network connections

  • Infrastructure records that are accurate and up-to-date
  • Increased visibility and control of all IT assets
  • Auto-generated rack diagrams
  • Patch panel cable management

Detailed rack utilization overview, assign resources to tenants (Who uses what?)

IPAM (IP Address Management), VLAN, VRF and Network mapping

 

IP Address Management (IPAM) capabilities provide an easy to use, intuitive console for centralized IP visibility and control including IP tracking, IP assignments, and many other IP management functions.

  • IPv4/IPv6 IP address management
  • Overlapping IP ranges and nested subgroups management
  • Subnet tree view with nested subnets and IPs
  • Auto assignment of IPs to devices
  • Powerful APIs enable IP search, find, and integration with other tools

Additional Modules

Data collector

  • You can get most of available details about each device after automated data collection.
  • Prepared NFS-root environment is based on the new Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Linux server platform.
  • Contains most of related software components.
  • This system contains most of the script languages and its components to write and run tests and collectors.
  • There is a BASH-based template to learn and easily make additional tests, actions and data collector scripts.
  • Has the possibility to write tasks using other languages.

Graphing

Cacti enables to poll services at regular intervals to create graphs on resulting data.

Generally, it is used to graph time-series data of metrics such as network bandwidth utilization, CPU load, running processes, disk space etc.

Measure and alarm based on total transfer or at any threshold.

Monitoring

Nagios integration for automated monitoring

It helps to monitor any local resources like CPU load, Swap, Memory usage, Online users, etc. on remote Linux machines or Network equipment’s.

Network mapper

LLDP and SNMP based network mapping

No need to check where is the cables are connected. Your devices will tell you.

It requires LLDP and SNMP enabled on managed network devices.  In some cases SSH or API access required.

Visualize network connections. Manage structured cabling with update back connectivity using bulk operations.

Server Manager

  • Reset, Power on/off or just set boot order of your devices via IPMI, iLo or Redfish
  • Install and preconfigure your servers with popular linux distributions.
  • Commission servers and network equipment’s
  • Run multiple tests to verify the status of the device.

 

Custom modules based on your needs.
