 Your physical network is a strategic asset

Your organization's physical network includes all the transportation resources that allow it to transmit, receive and share data, regardless of its nature: speech, data, images. Once your communication infrastructure is in place, you don't need to worry about it. Yet however...

Taking into account your physical network is crucial. It is thanks to your physical network that your information system exists, functions and breathes. It guarantees the security, performance and expandability of your information system. While it is invisible to everyday users of computerized equipment or telecommunications connections, your physical network is a major strategic and financial asset. But for your organization, it is also an operational, organizational, managerial and information asset.

Yet management of the physical network, without which none of these functions would be possible, is often neglected! Ninety percent of problems in networks come from incoherence in the physical layer. These problems are rarely caused by the equipment used or the cable itself; they are often the result of human errors caused by poor management. READ IT INFORMATIQUES MAGAZINE (INFORMATICS MAGAZINE)

Strategic advantage

Total security for your network and your information system, also reducing the rate of physical errors to 0%.

Your physical network includes:

a series of physical components: cables, dispatchers, connection boxes...

a series of software components resulting from the choices you hare made in the deployment, use and configuration of the physical elements.

a series of technical data, resulting from the choices you have made in the deployment of the physical elements and the decisions you made in terms of connections.

On a daily basis, you have to master all this information in order to make your network, and thereby your information system, completely secure. This mastery inevitably depends on deploying a software program that will allow you to bring together and manage all this data. When organized intelligently within a relational database, the information is complete and coherent. Then you can have a structure vision of the physical network, with a rigorous and reliable representation of your site.

At any time you can visualize, evaluate, simulate, prepare, check and calculate. Nothing is left to chance, you are the one who is in control of your whole physical network and this allows you to reduce its error rate to 0%.

Management of the cabling of buildings is indispensable. By replacing paper-based management methods, computer-aided methods have given companies back control of their resources. In return, their personnel must adapt their working methods to cabling management software... READ IT 01 RÉSEAUX (01 NETWORKS) N°32 - 11/96

Financial advantage

Realize up to 35% annual savings on the overall cost of your physical network...

Deploying software for physical network management offers you the chance to drastically reduce your investment and operating costs. A recent study has shown that in this way you can realize the following savings:

50% on your operating costs, because your overall operations are monitored and thereby optimized.

50% on your management costs, thanks to the improvement in your internal procedures, prepared and monitored by a dedicated computerized tool.

The return on your investment is significant and immediate. Your software will be amortized within the first year... And deploying it will yield for you an average 35% saving per year on the overall costs of your physical network.
