Cabling Infrastructure
MapIT® G2 in conjunction with EagleEye ™ Connect provides next generation physical layer network management.
Siemon's MapIT G2 Automated Infrastructure Management (AIM) solution integrates a powerful combination of copper patch panels and intelligent fiber optic trays with easy-to-use master control equipment (analyzers). EagleEye™ Connect software provides real-time monitoring and reporting of physical layer activity across the entire network. MapIT G2 and EagleEye Connect have been specifically developed to eliminate the complexity seen with other AIM solutions, offering highly intuitive, interactive, reliable, and efficient operation. This Siemon AIM system offers a truly unmatched ability to manage a complex network, providing the following benefits:
Real-time network monitoring – Provides detailed information through hierarchical views, from cabinet and rack infrastructure to work areas and floor layouts, all with complete circuit diagrams and network information stored in a controlled database by the software, which is automatically updated in real time as moves, adds and/or changes are made, ensuring that the condition of the network infrastructure is displayed at all times.
Real-time alerts: EagleEye Connect can send email alerts to IT or security personnel in real-time when unauthorized events occur on the network, such as detecting unauthorized devices trying to connect to the LAN.
Asset Management – EagleEye Connect reports allow you to view available Switch or patch panel ports. End devices can be tracked by location, equipment type, manufacturer, service, or other criteria, providing better visibility and utilization of critical assets.
Reduced Downtime – MapIT G2's circuit tracing capability quickly identifies the location of a fault on any channel. Information can be displayed on MapIT dashboards to guide on-site personnel, drastically reducing the time required to find and correct a network outage.
Remote Visibility: MapIT provides a real-time view of networks at remote offices, helping ensure compliance with corporate IT policies by detecting unauthorized network changes.
Regulatory Compliance: EagleEye Connect maintains an audit trail of all network events, making it easy to comply with regulatory mandates such as Sarbanes-Oxley, ITIL, HIPAA, FDA 21 CFR Part II, etc.
EagleEye Connect AIM Software
Siemon's EagleEye Connect automated infrastructure management software provides the critical central interface to the MapIT G2 system. Web browser access allows network monitoring from virtually any device anywhere. EagleEye Connect collects, monitors, and stores network intelligence, smart panel, tray, and connectivity data from MapIT G2 through master and distribution control panels.
Enables real-time physical layer monitoring and documentation, including IT device discovery, interactive floor images, rack elevations, and end-to-end circuit paths.
The navigation tree shows the hierarchical relationship from the highest level (City/Campus/Building) to the lowest level (devices and ports), allowing easy access to device properties and location.
The real-time, auto-discovery database stores the status and location of all cabling and IT assets to minimize troubleshooting time and maximize equipment utilization.
Detects and records all physical activity on the network and provides instant alerts on unauthorized access or modification through extensive alarm filtering.
The work order module assigns, directs, and tracks work orders, ensuring accuracy, speed, and documentation of activity.
MapIT G2 Master and Distribution Control Panels
The MapIT G2 Master Control Panel (MCP) and Distribution Control Panel (DCP) collect all network infrastructure data provided by smart patch panels and fiber receptacles, allowing the ability to monitor up to 2880 ports in as little as 1U of rack space. DCP panels connect to the MCP to be used in larger systems.
The LCD display and integrated keyboard give technicians access to critical network architecture and diagnostic information, allowing them to view circuit traces and patch cords.
