2 Agenda Changes in LAN usage & management implications Business issues How LANsense can help

3 Traditional model Remote Access GSM CCTV Storage Wireless IT Facilities Fax Phones Switches Access Terminals Environmental Control

4 and now The IP World IT / Facilities more devices more applications more complexity

5 Business Issues Business issues: Compliance and Control in an increasingly complex environment Ease of Deployment of new services Asset Management and Utilisation Environmental Regulation Capacity Planning Business Goals: Reduced operational costs through business process improvement

6 Compliance and Control The ability to control change is without doubt, the major contributor to business value BCS Managing change manually is more challenging: More complex multiple services More sensitive to change Increased documentation overhead More sensitive to incorrect interconnection

7 Regulation & Compliance Regulatory and compliance requirements all emphasise the need for automated control Sarbanes Oxley BASEL II ITIL CRC, Green IT, EU Code of Conduct etc Standardisation changes ISO , EN Part 1etc

8 ISO Documentation requirements Installation Fixed cable elements 2 to to >20000 (for Cx divide by 4) 20,000 Office Industrial Home Multi-tenant residential Data Centre Level 3 requires electronic records of fixed cables

9 ISO Documentation requirements Operation Administered Ports 2 to to 5000 >5001 Office Industrial Home Multi-tenant residential Data Centre Level 3 requires electronic records of fixed and moveable cables Enhanced level requires electronic records of fixed cables and AUTOMATED cord management

10 Ease of deployment of new services The challenge is one of coordination delays Systems, Operations, & Facilities teams involved Often uncoordinated Typical new deployment time maybe days LANsense can significantly reduce these delays Assistance with planning and workflow Automated provisioning of some services

11 Asset Management and Utilisation What have I got? Where is it? Is it being used efficiently? Do I really need to upgrade? Increasing need for accurate, automated records. Self documenting in real time

12 Environmental Issues Green IT initiatives demand the ability to measure and potentially control power usage Carbon Reduction Commitment imposes penalties for inefficient usage of power EU Code of Conduct Potential Unbilled Revenue Stream in Co-Lo or Co-Host environment

13 Capacity Planning How much space to I have in my Data Hall? How much space do I have in my racks? How much spare power capacity do I have in my racks? How much additional heat output can my cooling absorb? What services or applications run on which servers? How can I ensure that planned changes are enacted correctly?

14 How can it help? Intelligent Infrastructure Management

15 LANsense IIM Solution IIM provides visibility of a physical network by automatically detecting, locating and alerting on any network 'event Integrated EMAC solution Works alongside existing network management tools Extends IT operational efficiency to the physical layer Forms a core part of your CMDB interoperates with other management systems to create an Intelligent Event Manager

16 What physically is IIM?

19 IIM relationship to EMAC IIM Platform Monitor & Alert Physical Layer Network Layer Power Temp & Humidity

20 Why Do I Need It? TIA 942 Data Centre Infrastructure Standard Guidelines for cabling, HVAC, power etc. Green data centre initiatives Over provision/specification, leads to additional provision and running costs. Tax initiatives Carbon Trust, Enhanced Capital Allowances. Accurate planning based on real data, not manufacturer plate ratings. Better use of expensive data centre space. Manufacturer rating often 150% of requirement.

21 Why Do I Need It? EMAC provides early warning of heat/humidity/power changes within the data centre. Proactive warnings by /sms etc. Improved control PDU outlets turned off until required no unknown equipment powered from the racks Cabinet access managed who is doing what in the cabinets? Accurate power resource monitoring - physical capacity and power draw. Powerful add-on to IIM Information from EMAC displayed real-time in IIM

23 Meeting business goals Where to invest? 30% Assets & Innovation 70% Maintenance keeping the lights on Source: Gartner - IT Infrastructure, And The Shift To Real-Time Source: : IDC Virtualization 2.0 The next phase in customer adoption. Courtesy of IBM Maintenance costs increasing. LANsense ROI time progressively decreasing

24 Summary Networks becoming more complex More need to control More difficult to manage Maintenance costs increasing LANsense Helps manage change Simplifies new service deployment Improves asset management and utilisation delivers reduced operational cost
