inteliPhy net

This is the core function. It means inteliPhy net acts as a single "pane of glass" for overseeing your entire data center infrastructure. Instead of using multiple, separate tools, you manage everything from one platform.

This feature allows you to document and track all physical connections within your data center. This includes fiber and copper cabling, connections between devices, power connections, etc. You can visualize these connections, see how everything is interconnected, and easily troubleshoot connectivity issues.

Keep track of all your IT assets (servers, switches, storage, etc.) within the data center. This includes details like make, model, serial number, location (rack, U-position), and operational status.

Monitor the utilization of resources like rack space, power, and cooling. This helps you understand your current capacity, plan for future growth, and avoid overloading resources.

Specifically focused on monitoring and managing the power infrastructure, including PDUs (Power Distribution Units) and UPSs (Uninterruptible Power Supplies). You can track power consumption, identify potential issues, and ensure power redundancy.

A broader view of all assets within the data center, including IT equipment, cabling, power infrastructure, and even non-IT assets like cooling units. This feature helps with inventory management, asset tracking, and lifecycle management.

inteliPhy net provides a visual interface and tools to plan the layout of your data center, including the placement of racks, devices, and the routing of cables. This makes it easier to design an efficient and organized infrastructure.

Instead of manually adding every single component (like individual patch panels or modules) within a device or cabinet, you can create "metamodels." These are templates that represent fully configured devices or cabinets. For example, you could have a metamodel for a specific type of server with pre-defined network cards or a fully wired cabinet. This dramatically speeds up the planning process.

ODFs are used to manage large numbers of fiber optic connections. inteliPhy net allows you to design and visualize your ODF configurations, making it easier to plan and manage your fiber infrastructure.

Meet-me rooms are critical interconnection points in data centers, especially in colocation facilities. inteliPhy net provides specific tools to help plan the layout and cabling of meet-me rooms, adhering to industry standards like 19" racks (common in North America) and ETSI racks (common in Europe).

inteliPhy net uses the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to collect data from various devices in your data center. This allows you to monitor the status and performance of these devices in real time.

You can personalize your dashboard view by selecting and arranging widgets that display the information most important to you. This could include things like power consumption, temperature readings, device status, and alerts.

Set up custom alerts to be notified when certain thresholds are exceeded or when errors occur. For example, you could be alerted if a server's temperature goes too high or if a PDU is overloaded.

inteliPhy net provides various ways to visualize the data it collects, such as charts, graphs, and reports. This helps you understand trends, identify patterns, and make informed decisions.

Streamlines the process of planning and executing changes to the data center infrastructure, such as moving equipment, adding new devices, or changing cabling configurations.

Schedule and track routine maintenance tasks to ensure the upkeep and reliability of your data center equipment.

Create work orders for specific tasks (e.g., installing a new server), assign them to technicians, and monitor their progress through completion.

Track changes made to the infrastructure, providing an audit trail for compliance and troubleshooting purposes.

inteliPhy net automatically generates documentation based on the data it collects and the configurations you define. This eliminates the need for manual documentation, which can be time-consuming and error-prone.

Create various types of reports, such as inventory reports, capacity reports, and connectivity reports, to gain insights into your data center infrastructure.

Access inteliPhy net from any web browser, making it easy to manage your data center from anywhere.

Version 4.0 boasts enhancements to make the software faster, more responsive, and more intuitive to use.

Quickly find specific devices, connections, or other assets within your data center using a powerful search feature.

Maintain a detailed inventory of all your IT assets, including hardware and software applications.

This allows you to trace the path of a connection from its source to its destination, which is essential for troubleshooting.

Establish relationships between devices, such as linking a server to the PDU it's powered by or the switch it's connected to.

These are the types of environments where inteliPhy net is most useful:

Facilities that rent out space, power, and cooling to multiple tenants.

Smaller data centers located closer to end-users to reduce latency.

Data centers owned and operated by a single organization for its own use.

Networks within a building or campus.

Buildings that use technology to automate and optimize various systems, including networking.
