Easy-To-Use Central Navigation System - A traditional navigation tree view combined with a Flash based graphical navigation system allow the user to easily navigate to a specific facility or device with a few clicks of the mouse or track an alarm/warning from its geographical region down to the specific device.
Auto Discovery - Automatically search the network and provision active devices to simplify and reduce implementation timeframes and/or discover additional unknown devices.
Design Studio - Easily upload floorplan images and utilize the drag-and-drop functionality to easily and accurately place equipment within the floorplan including detailed rack elevations with rack load, space utilization, relationship rules and inventory monitoring built in.
Proactive Monitoring of Facilities & IT Devices - Simplify data center monitoring by using a single centralized interface to monitor and manage virtually every device in the facility including power and cooling systems equipment, security devices, environmental sensors, servers and other rack mounted IT devices.
Alarming & Notifications - Manage, track and document all unreachable, warning, critical and device trap alarms through configurable notification and escalation rules to enable immediate troubleshooting and resolution of recurring problems.
Smart Device Remote Access - Utilize intelligent Smart Device objects that mimic the real device in both look and behavior to enable users to remotely access and control devices as if they are in front of the equipment.
Trending - Easily track and trend critical data for analysis through configurable trend charts.
Reporting - Use the internal reporting engine for fast and easy access to information such as energy consumption, current capacity, environmental conditions, asset lists and exact device location. Visual Data Center also has an option to ship with a Crystal Reports client to enable ad hoc reporting and report scheduling.
Space, Power & Cooling Capacity Management - Users can easily switch between facility views to see real time data such as rack capacity, maximum rack space available, energy consumption and temperature per rack to better manage capacity and closely match usage to available capacity to improve overall efficiencies or eliminate waste.
Energy Consumption & Efficiency Tracking - Built-in energy efficiency reporting provides a breakdown of detailed power consumption and cost information including PUE and DCiE metrics for the facility.
Enhanced Planning Capabilities - Utilize the data center Floorplan Layer Views, Detailed Rack Elevations, Device Relationship Manager and Advanced Monitoring to improve facility planning in the areas of space, power, cooling and connectivity.
Asset Location Tracking - Locate assets, track location history and report detail device locations, owners, deployment and purchase dates, configuration settings and much more.
Service & Maintenance Management - Schedule, track and document service and maintenance activities to ensure systems availability and prevent downtime due to equipment failure.
Warranty Management - Document, track and report on device warranty status to maintain warranty compliance and prevent the unnecessary costs associated with re-certifying equipment for warranty coverage.
Documentation Management - Store items like technical documents, user guides, procedural documents, as-built drawings, commissioning reports or cabling diagrams and have the ability to attach them to a specific device or facility for easy archiving and sharing.
