Seamlessly Track Cable & Circuit Changes
Are you still tracking your cable and circuit documentation in out-of-date spreadsheets or Visio diagrams?
Poor cable management can lead to a number of inefficiencies that directly affect the bottom line: slower troubleshooting because circuits cannot be properly traced, stranded ports and subcomponents due to partial decommissioning of fiber connectivity…and the list goes on.
Many companies overlook the importance of cable and circuit management in a Data Center Infrastructure Management solution, but cables and circuits are the entities that glue it all together! Having a proper cable management software and a sound circuit management process in place are key to a successful, integral DCIM implementation.
