It’s All About Intelligence

By reducing downtime and increasing productivity – by providing network intelligence AMPTRAC and iTRACS is a good bet toward increasing the bottom line. After all, what helps the network ultimately helps the business.


AMPTRAC Summary

• Accurate “real-time” record / log keeping; (aids in: troubleshooting, repair, security, use tracking and accountability compliance)

• Enables efficient utilization of Network assets (e.g.: Panels, Switches, cabling, etc.);

• Streamlined work order process with clearly defined roles and responsibilities for simplified scheduling, planning, record keeping, accountability and troubleshooting procedures;

• Accurate accountability of network related assets, costs and budget planning;

• Active monitoring of layer 1 physical infrastructure coordinated with scheduling and planning to address, monitor and reduce network outages.


Requestor – Originates work order request.. Typical Help Desk function

Planner – Receives requests and generates work order to satisfy requirements.

Manager – Approves work order and assigns to appropriate technician to perform

Technician –Performs work orderper instructions

Four User Types –

Defines and Provides Process Control


Quick Walk-Through of iTRACS IM

Two types of views• User view tabs

– Locate screen for quick look-up and status– Requestor initiates work-order process– Planner determines optimal changes/configuration– Manager reviews and authorizes work, and confirms completion– Technician receives and performs work and initiates completion– Report tab contains over 60 ‘canned’ reports

• Administrator view tabs– User tab is where user rights and events are assigned– Configuration allows for customization of the system– Build allows creation, removal and modification of the data base– Monitor view accesses Analyzer management/set-up– Discovery screen facilitates iDiscover set-up


AMPTRAC-IM Features and Benefits

• Real-time monitoring via AMPTRAC hardware– Accurate and immediate documentation of the network infrastructure

and connected devices, eliminating the need for physical audits.• Self-discover patching

• Automatic update of database Event log– All authorized and unauthorized changes are logged and time stamped in the database

log, providing a thorough and complete audit-trail of the network connectivity and history.• Automatic Alerts and Alarms

– Event driven Alerts are established, generating detailed e-mail messages to selectedindividuals based on type of event and condition filters, enabling quick response to network issues.

• Automated work order process– Work order process re-enforces policies and accountability, while tracking and reporting WO status and progress.

• Auto-provisioning of services– Planning of Auto-routing based on type and availability of services and ports can be established based on

customer input and parameters.• Terminal Service / Remote Access

– Utilizes terminal service allowing full functionality and viewing of the IM system remotely which enables remote trouble determinations prior to dispatching service technicians.

• Automatic Re-Synchronization– Even if the network goes out of service, IM re-synchronizes the information based on current connectivity when

the network connections are restored, automatically updating the database. • Established detailed reports

– A Library of over 60 reports are available based on various assets and components (switches, outlets, patch panels, end devices), which is filterable based on location and other parameters. (e.g.: Port utilizations, asset reports, connectivity reports, etc.)

AMPTRAC System Overview

The AMPTRACS System:(Typical Component Layout)

ERAMPTRAC Analyzer: The Device that tracks the connections between sensor contacts and communicates with IM database.

Sensor Strips: Sensor contacts that are applied to network electronics port fields.

AMPTRAC Enabled Patch Panels: Patch panels with integrated sensor contacts.

AMPTRAC I/O cables: Connects sensor contacts (patch panel and electronics) to analyzer.

AMPTRAC Patch Cords: Interconnects between Patch panel and switch ports which have an integrated ‘9th’ wire that is used to make connection between sensor contacts.

IM Software: The software that manages the Analyzers, and correlates the connectivity information from the analyzers to a database model of the customer infrastructure.

AMPTRAC Server: A higher level PC (often Rack mounted) that runs the IM software.

AMPTRAC System Overview

The Networking Basics:(Physical Layer)

ER: The Equipment Room receives backbone and horizontal cabling, and houses the termination panels and network equipment.Horizontal Cabling: 4pr UTP between patch panel and workstation outlet.

Backbone Cabling: fiber or multi-pair copper between ER, Data center, buildings and entrance facilities.

Patch Panel: Termination field for horizontal and backbone cabling.

Patch Cords: Interconnects between Patch panel positions and switch ports; outlets and devices.Switch/Router: Network electronics with a port field, used to manage the data traffic between network devices.

Server: A higher level PC (often Rack mounted) that runs a network related program (e.g.: e-mail, file storage, etc.)

Network Device: Any network connected device or peripheral (e.g.: PC, IP camera, Wireless access point, IP Phone, IP based Building controls, etc.)

ER


How do we do it ….

• 9th wire technology in patch cord establishes open and closed circuit• Analyzer monitors open/closed circuit and tracks connectivity• Analyzer sends data to IM data base

• Analyzers established in telecommunications patch zones• Network of analyzers is established with IM data base via existing or separate LAN or WAN via Ethernet connection

The AMPTRAC System can…

• Discover all Network connected devices

• Map and document connectivity ‘end-to-end’

• Monitor all connections for real-time log

updates, alerts and messages

• Extend enterprise management to ‘layer-one’

complimenting existing tools and services

• Apply business policies, rules, and processes

for intelligent real-time physical infrastructure

management

• Automatically Log, report, alert and alarm on all changes to assets and physical layer configurations


Intelligent Infrastructure Management (IIM)

Intelligent Infrastructure Management links all 7 layers together to give a true end-to-end view of the network

Layer 1 - Physical

Layer 2 – Data LinkLayer 3 – NetworkLayer 4 – TransportLayer 5 – SessionLayer 6 – PresentationLayer 7 – Application

��

Today the physical layer is either unmanaged or managed manually leading to inaccurate information and impacting all other

management systems

• recognizes a patching and/or connectivity problem.

• provides a simplified process for MAC's

• provides management of your infrastructure

• manages your network assets and their utilization.

• reduces troubleshooting time.
