Know Every Detail; Show it in Every Way Business success is more dependant on the smooth operations of the Data Center than ever before, and the trend is expected to continue. Inevitably, expanding business services means added equipment and storage facilities and increased staff means ramping up documentation and communication requirements.  From internal operations to service provisioning to the end customer, the data center is the lifeline of any business dependent on information provision and communications technology. Data centers are being called upon to manage not only the physical and logical aspects of their operations, but also ensure zero impact on business and services, lower costs, and increased volumes. By providing improved visibility and control over IT infrastructure, the N(i)² Data Center Management Solution enables improved resource optimization, more dependable business continuity and enhanced IT governance practices. IN THE DATA CENTER: IMPACT ANALYSIS VIA "WHAT IF?" SCENARIOS
 Multi-Environment Management allows for the creation of multiple scenarios in a staging environment based on real-time information without affecting its integrity. This gives IT managers the ability to make decisions based on careful planning and assessment, so IT can thereby enhance business continuity, allowing your organization to react decisively to new opportunities. CATALOGS AND TEMPLATES
The client side architecture of the Multi-domain CMDB System was built on catalogs and templates to facilitate the standardization of procedures and technology selection, reinforcing maintenance of product compliancy and optimizing resource utilization. It also gives an organization the ability to quickly populate the CMDB and maintain it with accuracy. REPORTING
A single version of the truth enables you to be aware of the IT resources that are over- or under-utilized, and those that are not used at all. Get instant reports on everything from IP allocation to data center environmental characteristics such as power load and weight. PHYSICAL IT CAPACITY
Racks, Chassis, Cards, Floor Plans, Power Load, Heat Dissipation Spatial and containership perspectives enable IT managers to efficiently plan, and manage everything from floor plans and rack capacity to card positioning in chassis and chassis in racks, as well as specifications such as heat dissipation, power requirements, and weight. DATA CENTER CONNECTIVITY
Nodes, Cables, Ports, Patch Panels From the client to the cable to the data center... easily model the port to the patch panel. These design and management tools give data center managers the information they need to assess how resources connected to the network could be affected by problems or change. Gain complete visibility of physical connectivity to know if it is connected, how it is connected and what happens when it’s not connected. ALL INFRASTRUCTURE ASSETS
Hardware Devices, Software, Rooms, Floors, Desktop Equipment, User Assets (ie. cell phones and security badges) Use preset business rules for greater precision when creating, cloning and managing assets. Define an item’s relationships and dependencies by location, and query the Multi-domain CMDB System for results from a location or containership perspective. There are also functions to manipulate maps and other representation views in order to view the position of assets for more specific schematic and spatial searches. APPLICATION ARCHITECTURE
Application Dependencies, Shared services, Impacts of one item on another Understand where different applications are installed, and what users (and other applications) are accessing them. Gain visibility on how all assets are related to one another to mitigate the risks associated with changes and unplanned events, and get to the source of outages quickly to maintain business continuity.
