As data centers grow in size and complexity, there is a need for a comprehensive Asset Management solution to maintain an accurate record of data center assets across the entire enterprise and available inventory that can be deployed.
NetZoom® is the DCIM solution that manages the physical, virtual and cloud assets including their location, physical and logical relationships, connectivity, asset lifecycle, contracts, resources and software.
Manage All Data Center Assets - IT and Facility
The data center provides the critical backbone required to run the enterprise. Due to its completeness and ability to quickly locate where assets are installed, NetZoom is the System of Record for many enterprises providing information on all IT and Facility devices, components and connectivity.
Use NetZoom to easily manage
.- Power and cooling devices like RPPs, PDUs, UPSs, Breakers, Air Conditioners and Chillers
- Data center infrastructure like Racks, Enclosures and Patch Panels
- Compute devices like Blade Servers, Servers, Virtual Servers and Cloud instances
- Network devices like Switches, Routers and Gateways
- Security devices like IP cameras
Discover and Manage Virtual Servers and Cloud Infrastructure
Managing virtualization in a data center is essential. Out-of-the-box NetZoom integrates with hypervisors including vSphere and Hyper-V and cloud service providers including Amazon AWS and Google Cloud.
NetZoom automatically discovers the hypervisor and cloud virtual instances so they can be managed and controlled. Use NetZoom to track the CPU, memory and storage performance of each virtual machine, view the applications and manage the virtual instances within a single DCIM application.
Complete Inventory Lifecycle Management
NetZoom manages the complete Inventory lifecycle starting from Modeling, to Procurement, Receiving inventory and assigning of asset tags, Deployment, Maintenance and Change until Decommission. A complete log is maintained throughout the lifecycle of the asset.
Inventory stores organize available inventory for easy deployment.
Rack and Blade Configurations - SmartBuilds
NetZoom’s modeling module lets users define standard rack and blade configurations, also known as SmartBuilds, once and use as many times as needed. Configure the mounted devices and internal connectivity for quick and easy deployment.
NetZoom modeling is supported by the NetZoom Device Library containing over 250,000 models of IT and Facility devices.
Quickly Deploy New Models
Users can construct Smart Builds and Models of commonly configured devices, blade chassis, racks, or pods for storage as inventory items that can be selected as required for rapid deployment of new assets. The Placement Wizard helps locate optimal locations where the new models can be deployed based on various criteria like required power availability, rack units and network ports.
Extensible Real-time Asset Information
Devices from the NetZoom Device Library are pre-populated with identifying asset information including manufacturer, product model, product line; dimension information; configuration information like ports, slots and modules; capacity information including power load, weight and rack units.
NetZoom automatically maintains device location information, RU position, IPs, device associated Resources, contract information and computed capacity metrics. Real-time data is received from multiple sources including DCM, RFID, Hypervisor integration, Cloud services, and CMDB integration. Users can further customize and extend the asset properties using Entity Manager.
Asset Ownership and Management and Multi-Tenancy
NetZoom provides users the ability to assign asset ownership for each device. Track and manage asset ownership, stakeholders, maintenance teams, department or any other organizational management unit.
NetZoom also provides true multitenancy, or the ability to lock user access and visibility to only the assets assigned to the user, group, or department. Multitenancy of assets is the key to ensure segregation of data center assets between intra company teams or external customers.
2D & 3D Visualization
Visit the data center virtually from your desk with 2D & 3D visualization of devices, racks, locations, floors and buildings. View capacity metric overlays to gain insight into the data center.
Search and Locate Assets Quickly
Users can locate and virtually navigate to devices deployed anywhere in the data center by searching any identifying information like AssetID, Serial Number, Service Tag, RFID Tag, IP address or user defined fields. Users can also use advanced search criteria based on any number of properties or computed expressions.
Connectivity Management
Visualize how all IT and Facility assets are interrelated with end-to-end power and network connectivity throughout the data center.
Software Management
NetZoom has the ability to catalog all enterprise data center assets including software assets. Users can discover the software on servers, catalog the software, identify unauthorized software deployments, and receive an aggregated software summary.
Asset Reports, Analytics & Dashboards
There are dozens of ready-to-use and customizable asset reports, analytics and dashboards available throughout NetZoom. Users can print barcodes and labels for asset management directly from NetZoom. The Integrated Report Builder, which has user definable headers and footers, and Dashboard Designer ensure that users have the all the required asset reports, analytics and dashboards.
Mobile Asset Management
Use the Mobile App to always have asset management on the go. The mobile app is available on both android and iOS platforms, to ensure that you are never far away from your data center assets.
Inventory and Audit
NetZoom users can Audit the accuracy of the assets that are deployed in their Data Centers in real-time with our free Mobile App. The Mobile App is available for free on both Android and iOS platforms. It enables users to conduct Data Center audits, in which it can quickly scan bar codes and QR codes to validate the accuracy of their records. The Mobile App enables users to quickly find any discrepancies between their visual representation of their Data Center in NetZoom and what is physically deployed, ensuring 100% accuracy.
Asset Discovery
NetZoom has robust Agentless discovery capability that enables users to execute user-defined discovery for all of the following protocols: WMI, TCP, IPMI, SNMP, SSH, WSMAN, RDP, VNC, and Redfish.
Data Center Asset Management Made Easy
NetZoom’s asset tracking system manages an accurate, centralized, digital record of IT and Facility assets deployed in the data center.
NetZoom is
- easy to populate by importing from Excel spreadsheets, Visio diagrams, and network discovery.
- easy to use with an intuitive interface for searching, managing and visualizing data center assets.
- easy to maintain through CMDB bi-directional change integration, RFID asset movement notifications and Audit.
