Ni2 Introduces Advanced Cable Management Functionalities to Propel Its Digital Twin for Data Centers
Ni2, a leader in next-generation OSS solutions, today announced the release of powerful new cable management capabilities within the Ni2 Inside Plant application. These new features extend Ni2’s digital twin by addressing one of the most complex challenges in data center and telecom operations: managing power and network cabling with accuracy, efficiency, and scalability.
With a strong focus on simplicity and automation, Ni2’s new cable management functionality allows operators to design and operate connectivity with unprecedented ease. For example, with the Ni2 Path Finder, users simply select two devices or locations to connect, and the system automatically finds out potential paths based on defined criteria. This eliminates manual trial-and-error, reduces errors, and accelerates provisioning.
Key capabilities include:
- Comprehensive catalog for power and network cables, including bundles and conductors.
- Multi-level connectivity across all infrastructure layers to enable planning, high level design and low-level design of connections.
- Cable dashboards, capacity reports, and topology navigation.
- End-to-end path search with automated cross-connects.
- Support for massive cross-connect operations and structured cabling.
- Bulk import templates and APIs for seamless 3rd party integration.
By providing operators with real-time visibility, automated routing, and simplified management of complex cabling structures, Ni2 enables more accurate planning, faster provisioning, and reduced risk of service outages.
“With these new advanced cable management functionalities, Ni2 continues to deliver on its mission to simplify complexity and maximize the value of infrastructure,” said Toni Arcuri, Chief Technology Officer at Ni2. “Our digital twin now brings a new level of intelligence and automation to one of the most challenging aspects of inside plant operations.”
