The N(i)2 IT Resource Design enables you to accurately and rapidly design IT resources, applications and their dependencies. It allows the following:
Assist
in infrastructure configuration design through Configuration Patterns like physical servers,
multi-tier applications, virtual machines,
DBMS, complex storage, clusters
Reduce
errors through design tools empowered by engineering and business rules
Accelerate
infrastructure design by leveraging configuration models stored as templates
Optimize
infrastructure design through alternate “What-if” scenarios
The N(i)2 IT Resource Design provides tools to design IT assets while leveraging business rules to organize them based on their location. It allows querying the N(i)2 CMS for IT assets such as equipment, software, IP addresses and applications from a location or containership perspective. It also includes functions to manipulate maps and other representation views for a better understanding of asset positioning, as well as schematically and spatially search for them.
