PATCH MANAGER Data Integration Bridge

PATCH MANAGER provides an extensive REST API for system integration. This feature enables you to augment your infrastructure management system architecture with 3rd party solutions (such as network/service management systems and device discovery tools) and to integrate live data (such as SNMP data from PDUs) into the application. This avoids the need to maintain the same data in multiple data stores and provides a means for you to visualize and report on the externally retrieved data.

The right choice for your cable and asset management software

Managing a physical layer infrastructure can be complex, especially without an appropriate tool in place to manage the assets and connectivity. This article discusses the importance of choosing the right tool, the obvious and less obvious things to look for when considering options, and why PATCH MANAGER should be your preferred choice.

Outside Plant & the Internet of Things

Did you know that Outside Plant (OSP) plays a crucial role in the support of IoT?

This article describes what the IoT is and illustrates the significant role of OSP in relation to the IoT. To maintain the required levels of network availability, management of the OSP network is no longer an option, but a requirement. The article goes on to describe how a comprehensive and specialized cable and asset management system can help you meet this requirement.

Replacing your legacy cable and infrastructure management software product with PATCH MANAGER

Are you satisfied with your current solution for managing your physical layer network infrastructure? Is it well-suited to managing the complexity and diversity of networks in today’s world? Does it provide the features required to optimize your operational efficiency? Does it integrate seamlessly into your organization’s application architecture? Is it easy to operate and to on-board new users? Does it even have a long-term development vision/support?

Managing your smart building networked assets and infrastructure

Based on the predictions of Research and Markets and MarketsandMarkets, the smart building industry, also known as building automation, will grow between 23% and 34% by 2025. Although smart buildings offer significant advantages, managing the networked assets and infrastructure in a smart building poses real challenges.

Customer success story: Amsterdam Airport Schiphol

Amsterdam Airport Schiphol recently implemented the PATCH MANAGER Cable & Asset Management Software solution to manage their complex network infrastructure consisting of hundreds of thousands of assets and cables. With the kind cooperation of Gregor Hendrikse, one of the key representatives of the airport, and Bas Keijser, the PATCH MANAGER lead consultant for the implementation project, we take a closer look at how PATCH MANAGER has become one of the airport’s vital systems.

The rise of IoT: the impact of IoT on data centers

The data center industry faces several challenges due to the rapidly changing landscape of technologies and the dramatic increase of data that these new technologies bring. The challenges include, but are not limited to the Internet of Things (IoT), Artifical Intelligence (AI), Edge Computing and recently, the emerging 5G technology. In this article, we focus on the impact of IoT on data centers and propose the implementation of a Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) solution as a mechanism to help address the challenges.
