Physical Layer Management

Businesses today are totally dependent on network communication for conducting their day to day operations and there is a growing realization that network management without a complete view of the physical infrastructure is impossible. The physical layer is the foundation of the network, but often the least visible of all network components. With the physical layer model of PatchManager, a full, transparent and up-to-date insight into the physical layer of your network infrastructure is accomplished.
