Manage Your Data Center Intelligently
RiT Software Solution is the centerpiece of the comprehensive RiT CenterMind data center infrastructure management (DCIM) solution. It provides a robust, highly versatile platform for intelligently managing every aspect of your data center – with maximum ease, efficiency and productivity.
With this one intuitive interface you can efficiently manage all your network assets, automate provisioning and moves, adds and changes (MACs), improve fault management, monitor and control network connectivity, manage your power usage and environment, and more. To maximize your control over your IT environment, RiT Software Solution provides comprehensive, fully-accurate documentation of all network and infrastructure components, advanced IP devices detection and alert capabilities, all in a user-friendly package.
While RiT Software Solution excels at enabling organizations to optimize their data center infrastructure, it is also ideal for intelligent infrastructure management (IIM) in your organization’s workspace.
Gain the flexibility of a single software platform
In contrast with other DCIM software, RiT Software Solution is highly flexible, easily adapting to your existing workflow. It supports the systems and hardware you already have in your data center. You can gain additional value, including online and real-time control of copper frames and fiber optic trays, by using RiT Software Solution with RiT PatchView Hardware™. Likewise, the software manages RiT SMART Cabling products, providing cohesive intelligent infrastructure management throughout your organization.
Many RiT Software Solution processes (such as automatic service provisioning) can be activated from within your workflow management system. This eliminates the need for data center personnel to learn or interact with new software. The CenterMind runs in the background, while your staff continues to work with the familiar GUI of your existing system.
Working in parallel with the network, RiT Software Solution is non-intrusive. It does not interfere with normal operations. Therefore, the software continues to work even in the event of a problem in your network.
RiT Software Solution key capabilities and benefits
Asset management
RiT Software Solution keeps track of status, attributes and physical locations and movements of high-value assets. It automatically discovers any changes to assets including servers, PCs, IP phones or any other SNMP device, while collecting and storing data and information that may be accessed later.
Automated Planning & Provisioning
Effective business practice means shifting the focus from “how to do” to “what to do”. Providing an intelligent solution, RiT Software Solution manages the data center and network infrastructure as well as the network devices and service applications. The accurate birds’ eye view of your data center and network, presented in an easy-to-understand visual layout, enables your IT managers to make the right decisions easily and quickly. With the software carrying out all complex calculations within seconds, personnel are able to control resources, processes and users as one collaborative unit while effortlessly performing moves, adds and changes (MACs).
Fault management
Offering a management system that guarantees high levels of flexibility and control, RiT Software Solution helps you ensure business continuity no matter what the problem or location. Faults and changes in the physical infrastructure are identified and detected in real time. Notifying personnel immediately, the software enables issues to be solved remotely, adding proficiency and significant cost savings and minimizing human error.
Location-based security
RiT Software Solution provides a comprehensive set of security tools to help protect your organization against malicious activity. It identifies, in real time, illegal or unscheduled connects/disconnects and unscheduled opening of the cabinet doors, alerting IT and security staff to any unauthorized attempt to access or sabotage the system. Rules can be defined to block any unused switch ports and automatically release them when new services and servers are provisioned.
Environment management
Maintaining a stable environment for all data center assets, wherever they are, is vital to your business. A cooling system malfunction, fire, flood, equipment malfunction, and other similar events can cause significant damage if not effectively monitored and controlled, and can even result in total shutdown of services. RiT CenterMind includes comprehensive environment management, with 24/7 real-time environment monitoring and event-driven alerts.
Power consumption monitoring and management
Supporting your goals for a green data center, RiT Software Solution offers powerful tools for optimizing your power usage – to minimize consumption while ensuring high performance. The software continuously monitors power consumption and assists in flattening power peaks, in identifying power-hogging devices, and in integrating power optimization into your data center planning. It gathers information from smart power strips, and displays it in an easy-to-understand format, enabling your managers to make informed, timely decisions. You can easily plan shutdowns and see what devices will be affected due to their reliance on a single power source. Information provided by RiT Software Solution can also be used by other management applications.
Network-wide Integration
The CenterMind Software Development Kit (SDK) enables you to implement CenterMind capabilities throughout your network. With RiT’s advanced SDK, you can easily create bi-directional data flows between CenterMind Software and multiple applications in the organization for information update and process activation. The SDK integrates seamlessly with existing management tools, including help desks, security tools, network management tools and application management tools. |
