The N(i)2 Infrastructure Management solution enables you to transition from a “build-as-you-go” model, to one where you design and build infrastructure capacity that is ready for services provisioning. It packages cross-domain management software that enables a proactive approach to managing the infrastructure lifecycles of IT, Networks, Facilities and Cloud domains, all from a single platform. This unique solution provides you with comprehensive visibility and control over complex infrastructure resources that support your cloud offering.
The N(i)2 Infrastructure Management solution works with you to build and maintain an up-to-date inventory of cloud infrastructure resources-both physical and virtual. It empowers you to know what resources you own, how they are connected, where they are, who is using them, how to change them, and what cloud service depends on them. This solution essentially allows you to:
• Maintain a complete, accurate and up-to-date view of the people, processes and
technologies that make up the cloud environment;
• Manage the inventory of IT resources used in delivering cloud services, such as physical
servers, multi-tier applications, virtual machines, DBMS, complex storage, clusters;
• Document all facility resources used in delivering cloud services like racks, gridded floor
plans, power sources, power transformers, etc;
• Plan and manage all changes according to standards.
This solution distinguishes itself with advanced design and modeling capabilities that allow to map all logical and physical components and to view how they connect in delivering cloud services. This visibility supports you in more efficiently maximizing resources by optimizing utilization of assets, space, and energy.
The N(i)2 Infrastructure Management solution includes the following N(i)2 software modules:
