Introduction
The requirements of today’s rapidly growing and changing enterprise infrastructures are no longer fully satisfied by traditional process-based IT infrastructure management but now need intelligent, real-time management. The main deficiencies of traditional IT Infrastructure management are:- Maintenance of connectivity records is time consuming & expensive
- Inaccurate records and long cycle times
- Difficulty in managing and tracking work and change orders
- Possible & likely deterioration in infrastructure flexibility, effectiveness and response times
Advantages of IIMS
High end intelligent infrastructure management systems (IIMS) like the AMP NETCONNECT AMPTRAC System have been designed to address the limitations described above. As an integrated part of the enterprise’s network management, The AMPTRAC System offers excellent flexibility and automation resulting in a significant reduction of the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of the network.
