Panduit has launched physical infrastructure manager (PIM) software platform version 4.4, which extends its data center infrastructure management (DCIM) solution. Working with PanView iQ (PViQ) system hardware and third-party DCIM devices, the PIM software platform provides continuous, local, and remote visibility of connectivity, power usage, asset tracking and utilization, and environmental conditions throughout the data center and enterprise.
It features the new PIM advanced dashboards and reports module, which provide visibility into operational metrics that include critical parameters needed to manage a data center–power, space, connectivity, and asset tracking–through a number of pre-defined dashboards and reports.
“With this set of enhancements, PIM users are able to define custom dashboards and reports using an extensive array of data visualization components such as gauges, charts, and dials,” said Alex Gordy, Vice President, Intelligent Solutions, Panduit. “This module filters data in real-time to refine or isolate the data set as needed, allowing data center managers to instantly access, analyze, and drill down through a wealth of information on data center and enterprise IT assets for effective decision-making.”
The PIM software platform power solution enables power measurement and threshold monitoring of temperature and humidity levels within a data center and the extended enterprise. PIM connectivity solutions capture and record changes in network connectivity automatically and graphically display them in near-real time.
The PIM software platform is part of Panduit’s unified physical infrastructure -based intelligent data center solutions. |
