Cable management

Cable management with Command means planning and documenting a cable infrastructure, regardless of the medium and location. The software has all of the necessary elements such as trays, slots, components (cabinets, junction boxes and patch panels) and of course cables. Plausibility checks, calculations and routing functions make Command an efficient tool for cable planners. The output options include documents such as splicing plans, schematic network representations, shunt lists, photo-realistic rack views, etc. Trays and cable routes can be displayed with no sheet lines in all conventional GIS systems using the neutral graphical interface. Converging technology requires consistent management that transcends system limits and offers practical solutions.

Telecommunications

Command enables centralized and efficient management of telecommunications networks and their resources. Operating processes such as for example Operation & Maintenance, Service Provisioning and Network Planning are thereby supported and optimized. The physical, functional and logical network resources of current network technologies such as SDH, PDH, MPLS, DWDM and ATM networks as well as satellite and broadband cable networks are mapped in a central database. The whole heterogeneous telecommunications network together with its locations, corresponding equipment and its connections can be planned, documented and visualized. In order to be able to plan and implement a fast and efficient customer connection, patching can be done on a technology-independent basis via manual and autorouting functions. In this way, all layers of a telecommunications network can be mapped – physically, functionally and logically.

Data Center Management

With Data Center Management, Command offers a solution for the management of your data center. Room plans, cabinet management, a component library with over 33,000 elements, cable routing, air conditioning and electric circuit management are key words that underline the scope of the software. Command does not end with the physical layer of your IT system. The mapping of virtual servers, software and applications as well as service are also themes that are relevant. In this way the software supports the central aim of establishing an integrated, service-oriented data center.

Configuration Management

Command supports IT service management with Configuration Management. The aim of Configuration Management is to supply a picture of the actual situation that is as complete and realistic as possible. In this context the data model in which the Configuration Items and their relations are described play just as important a role as the modules and functions with which the data is maintained. The Command software combines all of these requirements. More than 30,000 CIs are available to the user via the object libraries. Passive elements such as cabinets, patch panels, sockets and cables are included, as are network components, servers and software. A complex relation model links the CIs. For the purpose of maintaining the data content, Command has numerous modules, the suitability of which has been proven through more than 15 years of experience with numerous customers. The modules are divided into the following areas: Physical infrastructure, Logical relations, Interfaces. The interfaces are particularly important in the context of data maintenance, as they are used to collect the data, evaluate it and store it in the overall model. This emphasizes the open data structure of Command.
