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

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 90-180 days
LANsense can significantly reduce these delays

Assistance with planning and workflow

Automated provisioning of some services
10
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

LANsense
How can it help?

LANsense
Nexans IIM Solution

LANsense provides visibility of a physical network by

automatically detecting, locating and alerting on any network
'event‘

Works alongside existing network management tools

Extends IT operational efficiency to the physical layer

interoperates with other physical & environmental
management systems to create an Intelligent Event Manager

LANsense
IIM Hardware

To enable the software to detect patches a number of different items are required. The
basic cable, connectors and outlets stay the same but there is a need for different
panels in the Cross Connect. Patch cords are also different and then you need
analysers to do the detection.


The Analyser sends, through the i/o cords, 5v dc to the gold pad on the patch panel.

The Analysers are scalable from as few as 48 ports to more or less unlimited in a single patch zone

The new NGA solution has the ability to separate the display from the voltage generating i/o cards
so critical rack space can be saved in the patching zone


The “9th” wire connects two of the “gold pads” together creating a circuit that the
analyser detects, the analyser then reports this to the software


The LANsense option extends across the entire LANmark range including fibre. It is
also possible to provide retro fit strips that directly attach to switches, eliminating the
need for “Service Presentation” links. These strips can also be made to fit “Other”
panels.
