System software

Overview
imVision System Manager software allows you to document and monitor your infrastructure through a standard web browser, providing you with comprehensive insights about the configuration of your physical infrastructure.

The software provides you with a complete view of your physical infrastructure, revealing scheduling and tracking changes to panels, faceplates, network equipment and other IP devices. It recommends optimal connections and initiates guided patching jobs for operators, which is particularly useful for data center applications where a new server
requires six or more connections. The software tracks the status of each work order and can alert an operations manager if a job is not completed on schedule. Upon job completion, it automatically enables the switch ports, ensuring that service is granted only to authorized users.

When new connections are made, System Manager remotely traces the complete path from an end device (server, workstation, IP phone or printer) to the service-providing port on a switch.

System Manager tracks all devices—even those operating wirelessly—as they move about a network. For services requiring Power over Ethernet (PoE), the software can integrate with PoE devices, verifying that power is available to a connection.

Making sense of data and information
imVision System Manager continually monitors and communicates with your network’s physical infrastructure, collecting and assessing multiple data points in delivering the information needed to maintain, document and enhance the entire network. For instance, imVision intelligent copper and fiber panels initiate real-time alerts whenever they detect unexpected changes to your network. These alerts appear as pop-up notifications on the user interface, as emails or text messages, or as SNMP traps to external network management systems. And, with its capability of communicating with LAN switches, SAN switches and other IP-enabled devices, System Manager is able to determine the precise location of all devices that are connected to the network, generating customized reports that document any changes.
