With data centers growing in size, scale, and complexity, monitoring their infrastructure for optimum performance is a difficult task. Especially in dense data centers that support a multitude of devices spread across on-premises and virtual infrastructure, the process becomes all the more difficult, leading to visibility gaps.
Yet a data center is the lifeline for any organization's network. For efficient monitoring, network admins must have a clear visual representation of the data center's layout and hierarchy. This helps them easily identify and rectify operational bottlenecks.
With a data center visualization tool, network admins can easily understand their data center layout, helping them gain in-depth visibility. However, most data center visualization tools operate in a siloed environment, without proper integration with a data center monitoring solution. As a result, network admins have to toggle between multiple tools, with no contextual information.
OpManager, a powerful datacenter networking solution
ManageEngine OpManager is a comprehensive data center networking solution powered by out-of-the box monitoring and visualization features.
Efficiently drill down to device details, helping you gain clear insights
OpManager's data center modeling feature allows you to create an exact replica of your data center floors and racks, giving you a deeper understanding about the physical layout of your devices. Color-coding these devices according to their health status helps you gain at-a-glance information about device health. You can also drill down to the device snapshot page for comprehensive insights about any device.
Visualize your data center floors as widgets
OpManager helps you visualize your data center floors as widgets. By creating relevant widgets and adding them to your dashboard or NOC views, you can have comprehensive yet concise information about your data center floor connections. Even better, you can carry this all out from the comfort of a single console. This enables early identification and resolution, helping to prevent mishaps.
Customize stencils for easier identification
OpManager allows you to customize your stencils for easier identification. You can use different stencils to identify devices such as servers, switches, or firewalls, providing clear distinction between them. Moreover, you can specify non-networking devices, such as fans, cooling units, power sources, and more, allowing you to have a complete picture of your data center layout.
Visualize racks across a 2D or 3D model
OpManager's data center monitoring and visualization has you covered on all fronts and dimensions, from 2D to 3D models. Understanding your network layout helps you to have control over the level of detail displayed, widening your perspective about the way your devices are connected with each other. You can also choose to remove the rear view and only visualize your front view, helping you have a simplistic view of your device connections.
Gain comprehensive device information from IP address to serial number
Picture this: Your data center admin notices a steep decline in the performance of one of your servers. They convey this information, along with the device name, to the network admin in the NOC center. The NOC admin combs through the CSV file that corresponds device names with their respective IP addresses to know more about this exact device. Only then can the NOC admin initiate corrective actions.
To entirely circumvent this cumbersome process, OpManager allows you to view the device name, IP address, as well as the serial number of the device, helping your admins communicate more effectively.
Remotely rectify issues quickly, enhancing uptime
With OpManager's data center visualization tool, you can easily drill down to the root cause of any issue. For instance, a NOC admin monitoring multiple data centers across different regions will be able to exactly pinpoint an issue in a specific data center. Then, they can either choose to remotely rectify the issue or request for the intervention of an on-site technician. This optimizes MTTR, increases uptime, and enhances performance.
