The intelligent cabling infrastructure that manages and protects your IT investment.
Everything is riding on your business' IT infrastructure. Voice and data communications, corporate security, customer support, daily operations, web-based services, all of which ultimately impact productivity and profit. However, managing thousands of connections at a variety of locations is often an impossible task. That's why Siemon has partnered with iTRACS Corporation to create MapIT, an advanced intelligent cabling system that automatically tracks, documents, and reports on changes made to your cabling and network devices.
MapIT takes network management to a new dimension. Imagine a system that can automatically update cabling documentation when changes are made to your infrastructure. Now you can have accurate, up-to-date records at your fingertips. Does it often require hours to troubleshoot and then fix a network problem? MapIT can help identify exactly where the problem is, reducing downtime and increasing productivity. Is security an issue? MapIT not only monitors physical layer connections, it can also track any active device connected to the network. And if an unauthorized device attempts to get on the network, MapIT can take action, blocking access at the switch level and reporting the occurrence to the appropriate personnel.
These are just a few examples of how MapIT can help improve management and security of critical network assets. MapIT has many more capabilities, creating unlimited possibilities for improved infrastructure management. Plus, since iTRACS software is modular in design, you can pick and choose the capabilities that best suit your needs. Even if you already use an application like HP OpenView or CA Unicenter to manage elements of your network today, MapIT can be customized to integrate with these types of applications, providing functionality that would not be possible otherwise. Whatever you requirements may be, Siemon and iTRACS can help tailor a system that provides outstanding network performance and the exact management capabilities you need.
