DataMiner Infrastructure Discovery and Provisioning (IDP)
This unique suite seamlessly connects infrastructure management with operations and vice versa. With the easy-to-use DataMiner IDP solution, operators get full control and visibility over the workflows and schedules.
USE CASE DETAILS
With the Configuration Manager, the baseline configuration of all your operational assets are managed. It’s also the key component to managing element and network virtualized function configuration in all imaginable aspects.
The Connectivity Manager automatically detects network connectivity of your switch fabrics via LLDP protocol.
Keep your inventory up to date with the Discovery Manager. This module discovers inventory in an automated manner. It not only detects new inventory, but it also recognizes changes to existing inventory.
Select one or multiple IP address ranges to discover your products.
Full overview on all of your discovered and managed devices. Keep track of rack space utilization and power consumption, and display your facilities around the globe.
Reapply or reassign your configuration items (CI Type).
Pending elements: those are all of your elements which are already on your DataMiner system, but are not managed by IDP yet. With this, you can easily add IDP to DataMiner systems that are already in place.
Start a new discovery, check out your most recent discoveries, and provision your elements.
An out-of-the-box solution for fully automated physical navigation through your entire operational ecosystem. the Rack & Facility Manager automatically creates the hierarchy of DataMiner rack views without any operator intervention. Lean back and let the work be done for you.
Get an interactive view of your racks per aisle. Drill down to each rack and device.
Aggregate KPIs per rack, aisle, floor, building and location. Keep track of your rack space utilization and free rack space capacity.
Visualize your locations on interactive maps.
