R&M is expanding its solutions for monitoring networks. They are part of the inteliPhy program for Automated Infrastructure Management (AIM) in data centers and local data networks. Users can thus further expand real-time network monitoring and simplify the work of the technicians at the rack.
New to the range: an inteliPhy Sensorbar for the recently launched distribution platform Netscale 48. It monitors the ports of the mixed media patch panel using RFID sensors and visualizes the status of the plug connections via LED. At the same time, R&M is launching the second generation of the inteliPhy Monitoring Analyzer.
The Analyzer controls and monitors up to 42 Sensorbars in a rack via bus lines. It communicates with the central infrastructure management system inteliPhy net via the local data network. This allows the links in large networks to be monitored remotely in real time.
The browser-based software of the new inteliPhy Analyzer clearly displays the integrated Sensorbars. In the central DCIM software (Data Center Infrastructure Management) inteliPhy net, technicians can see at a glance whether all cables are connected to the correct port without interruption. Service and patch orders can be clearly assigned, both in the software and on the Analyzer display. Eight LEDs signal the defined statuses and power lines. A keypad is used for local control of the Analyzer. A bus coupling on the rear enables the connection of sensors and other devices. R&M supplies the inteliPhy Analyzer with two jacks for a redundant power supply. This increases the operational reliability of data network monitoring in critical application areas such as healthcare, power supply and the finance market.
