netTerrain is a comprehensive and cost-effective solution for Data Center Infrastructure Management and IT Inventory Management.
Our software suite provides a single “visual pane of glass” of the entire Enterprise IT landscape, including Physical Views of the Data Center, Topology Views of the network, as well as Application and System Views for the Inside and Outside Plant.
Feeding from multiple sources and utilizing automated processes to map out the IT infrastructure, decision makers gain access to a set of real-time diagrams and reports that help reduce costs, improve service levels, mitigate risks and ultimately align IT investments with business objectives.
Cost Reduction
By having a visual “single pane of glass” view into the Infrastructure customers con align IT investments with Business Objectives. Being able to report on resource utilization and comparing the network “as-is” with the Network “as-planned” capacity planning is optimized. Graphical Networks’ Integration tools provide real-time device state reports and Inventory reconciliation to help recover stranded and underutilized assets. According to customer feedback, netTerrain’ template based catalog alone reduces documentation time by more than 40%, thus improving operational efficiency.
Service Level Improvements
Compared to file-based provisioning methods, Graphical Networks’ systems speed up deployment of new assets and services. Circuit Layout Records and Dynamic Connectivity Views provide actionable and real-time data to improve troubleshooting and lower Mean Time To Repair (MTTR).
Risk Mitigation
With multiple permission levels and sophisticated built-in business rules, the system minimizes inconsistencies and problems common in file-based tools. Security breaches can be visualized or accessed through audit trails and the ability to have access to information about the organization’s systems and processes is critical for business continuity, surviving the loss of key employees and making smart decisions. Graphical Networks allows sharing of enterprise information in a web-based graphical environment. By viewing maps and diagrams at the same time, users can communicate the changes and planning of the organization in real-time.
