R&M recently started offering Release 5 of the DCIM software inteliPhy net. The test version is free and can be found on R&M’s website.
Release 5 of inteliPhy leads to the software becoming a digital architect for data centers. “Computer rooms can be flexibly designed according to the demand, application, size, and category of the data center. Planners can position the infrastructure modules intuitively on an arbitrary floor plan using drag-and-drop.” The software enables both 2D and 3D visualizations which makes them also great for project presentations.
By utilizing inteliPhy net, data centers can be planned to the t, racks, rack rows, and enclosures can be inserted, structured, and moved with a couple of simple clicks. Just as quickly and easily, patch panels, PDUs, cable ducts, and pre-terminated trunk cables can be added, adapted, and connected virtually. R&M’s DCIM software finds the best routes for the trunk cables and calculates cable lengths.
The software also has an expansive library of templates for the whole infrastructure, including racks, patch panels, cables, and power supply. It also includes models for active devices with data on weight, size, ports, slots, feed connections, performance, and consumption. Users have the power to configure metamodels and save them for future use.
While planning, inteliPhy net creates an inventory list that can be directly used for cost calculations and orders. The planning process leads to a database with a digital twin of the computer room. This is the basis for the entirety of Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM), which is the primary function of inteliPhy net.”
R&M recently also began offering ready-made KPI reports with zero-touch configuration for inteliPhy net. Users can link the reports with various types of data, such as environmental, monitoring, infrastructure, and operating in order to evaluate the data center’s efficiency. Customizable dashboards and automated KPI analyses help with regulating power consumption and temperatures more precisely, as well as provide the best method for utilizing resources.
“Another new feature is the interaction of inteliPhy net with a focus on the savings in packaging service from R&M. Customers can, for example, configure Netscale 48 patch panels individually with inteliPhy net. R&M assembles the patch panels completely ready for installation and delivers them in single packaging. The concept saves a considerable amount of individual packaging for small parts. This reduces raw material consumption, waste and the time required for installation.”
