Data Center Features

For the Data Center easily document everything from buildings and room layouts, to racks, to the network and power cables that connect to them:

– Start at the building level, and click to jump to a completely customizable visual room layout

– Click again to zoom into a rack to view photo-realistic devices in Device42’s racks, and hover your mouse for quick view of any CI details

– Click any device to get detailed information, or move servers or patch panel connections with simple drag-n-drop

– Color coded rack heat maps illustrate available space (U’s), power, or temperature

– Leverage RestFUL APIs or the UI to quickly get your patch panel (or any other) documentation under control

Model Data Center Layouts with Powerful Visualization Tools

Device42’s powerful data center infrastructure management (DCIM) capabilities make it easy to model data center layouts. With powerful data center visualization tools, IT staff now have access to intelligent data center diagrams that accurately reflect their IT environment.

Map buildings, rooms, and individual racks fast and easy with powerful drag and drop editors.

Visualize IT patch panel connections and manage structured cabling with easy data entry via UI or APIs.

Avoid thermal- and power-related issues with proactive, real-time and historical power management capabilities.

IP tracking, IP assignments, and many other IP management functions with built-in IP Address Management (IPAM).

Track what spares are in use or checked out for deployment to better manage inventory and expenditures.

Device42 makes infrastructure modernization and migration easier too!

– Start with a website and view dependencies from the top down, or a database and go from the bottom up and create move groups

– Use inter-dependency information in concert with resource utilization features to right-size move groups to target cloud instances

Identify all resources with specific OS, life cycle, and other variables to be replaced or upgraded

– Get complete visibility before, during and after a migration

Application Dependency Mapping

Dependency and impact visuals are auto-generated from user-defined Application components from the bottom up. Visualize your inter-dependency details right down to load balanced services. Device42’s NetFlow collector is a powerful tool that adds another viewpoint for a deeper level of detail to dependency auto-discovery information from your environment.

– Use topology views to discover dependencies and when planning your migration

– See impact topologies from an application, device, rack, room or the building level

– Find everything that needs to move as a unit, and rightsize the target cloud instance for your move group with Device42’s resource utilization features

Actionable Insights Through Integrated Analytics and Visualizations

Insights+ leverages the breadth and depth of our discovery solution through a fully integrated set of intelligent visualizations, dashboards, and reports to identify trends and elevate your understanding through data. Benefits of Insights+ include the ability to:

– Visually see software and hardware dependencies to improve capacity planning with more accurate data and to improve incident management response times by spending time addressing the problem and not identifying the source

– Manage power costs and document your carbon footprint to achieve energy efficiency compliance

– Generate reports to identify assets that are near the end of service (EOS) and end of life (EOL)

– And more!
