PatchManager

PatchManager is an enterprise software application that provides a comprehensive solution for documenting and managing changes to the physical layer connectivity and assets of your campus, building, data center or outside plant network.

PatchManager gives clear insight into the purpose and usage of every cable, device and network location. With realistic modeling that maps one-to-one with the actual infrastructure, PatchManager provides network professionals with a simple to use but powerful application.

A simple spreadsheet or database together with some drawing package might do the trick in small infrastructures. However, the sheer complexity involved in maintaining the cabling and assets in medium to large networks requires a more extensive tool.

Failures and inconsistent use of cabling and network assets can have a major negative impact in terms of reliability, efficiency and quality of offering and can lead to significant associated costs. These problems can easily be obviated with the introduction of PatchManager.

Versatile and Future Proof

PatchManager is a universally applicable solution with a template-based representation of network components that enables application to a wide variety of networks and provides a future-proof investment that adapts to your evolving infrastructure.

Installation or Software-as-a-Service Option

PatchManager is a browser based application whereby the back end server can be deployed on Windows, Linux or Solaris operating systems with out-of-the-box database support for most popular commercial and open-source database management systems.

PatchManager is also available as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution, removing the need for any installation, configuration or maintenance.

System Integration

PatchManager provides an extensive API for integration with third party systems and devices. In keeping with our philosophy of open, widely accepted standards, the API is available via standard Web Services technology.
