Managing connectivity in the enterprise has never been more critical, as the network is tasked with supporting more devices and delivering increased functionality. Trends such as the growth in building IoT systems, IP convergence and Power over Ethernet delivery continue to drive the need for real-time, end to end management of the physical layer. The imVision Automated Infrastructure Management (AIM) system from CommScope has been providing these capabilities to enterprises for over a decade.
With its intuitive, web-based dashboard, imVision delivers real-time intelligence that allows users to monitor and document their cabling infrastructure while tracking the location of all connected network devices. It’s decision making driven by data -actionable, real-time data and performance insights-that establishes imVision as a powerful and critical network resource
Key features:
• Accurately documents the end-to-end connectivity between networked devices
• Tracks, in real time, all changes to physical-layer connections
• Generates alerts to unauthorized or unplanned changes
• Issues alerts when changes occur on critical circuits
• Discovers and tracks network- connected devices (including Ruckus switches)
• Generates electronic work orders for guided deployment
• Delivers full reporting capabilities, including generation of custom reports
• Identifies unused IT assets and cabling available for reuse
• Simplifies and streamlines workflows through powerful process automation
• Provides ability to define custom fields associated to objects to track asset information
Key applications in the Data Center:
• Manages increasingly higher fiber port densities: imVision helps manage ultra-high-density systems, with 576 fibers in a 4U LC duplex shelf configuration. The minimized footprint helps contain rackspace costs while reducing the risk of manual error in patching in an ultra-high-density environment.
• Manages point-to-multipoint connection: imVision helps manage point-tomultipoint connectivity, which has become commonplace with the advent of 40G and 100G Ethernet connections.
• Manages heavily-meshed leaf-spine architectures: imVision provides unprecedented visibility, intelligence and control to meet the challenges associated with leaf-spine architecture, an increasingly popular network architecture.
Key applications in the commercial building:
• Manages both power and connectivity: With the rapid growth in power over Ethernet (PoE) devices and applications, imVision provides the platform to ensure both power and data are fully documented-from power source to powered devices.
• Single management platform for building applications: As more and more building applications such as Wi-Fi, IP security, LED lighting, and high-definition audio/visual utilize twisted-pair cabling, imVision provides the single management platform for the physical layer, tracking what had historically been separate IT and Facilities networks.
• Tracking end devices: With BYOD and the proliferation of devices in the office, imVision can provide location information on all connected devices. The location of wired devices can be made down to the outlet, and wireless devices can be tracked to the Wi-Fi access point they connect with. This level of insight can help quickly identify and locate unauthorised devices.
