HellermannTyton Partners with Cormant Technologies to Deliver a Portable Solution for the Management of IT Infrastructure
HellermannTyton has partnered with Cormant Technologies to develop a unique, intelligent infrastructure management (IIM) system using portable, barcode identification technology.
Northampton UK (PRWEB) May 27, 2005 -- HellermannTyton has partnered with
Cormant Technologies to develop a unique, intelligent infrastructure management
(IIM) system using portable, barcode identification technology. The system is
available now and integrates HellermannTyton’s new iD series of Category 5e and
Category 6 bar-coded products with a version of Cormant’s CableSolve
Connectivity and Infrastructure Management Software. The portability of the
HellermannTyton iD system gives users the flexibility to manage and document
network connectivity and moves, adds and changes (MACs) both on or off site,
using handheld Pocket PCs with barcode scanners.
The new iD series from
HellermannTyton incorporates Category 5e and Category 6 patch panels, patch
cords and faceplates, each labelled with a unique barcode designed for use with
Cormant’s CableSolve software.
CableSolve uses a Pocket PC with an
integrated barcode scanner, to read the iD barcode and identify the hardware’s
location and end-to-end connectivity within the network infrastructure. The
software is capable of managing the entire physical infrastructure from the
structured cabling through to switches, routers, outlets, PCs and
telephones.
“Using the CableSolve powerful portable software platform,
users have complete management of their end-to-end cabling and network
infrastructure,” explains David Gagel, Sales and Marketing Director,
HellermannTyton. Gagel continues: “The barcode on the iD connectivity components
and other network assets such as computers, printers, and telephones, make
traceability easy and allows the IT manager freedom to view their entire network
when and where they need it.”
The HellermannTyton iD/CableSolve IIM
system allows an IT manager to select any port within the network and view
connectivity components (patch panel outlets, patch cords, etc.). They can also
view active equipment, information on the hardware platform and any software
installed on it, view floor plan locations of all equipment and power supply
connections to that equipment. iD active patching solutions will also be
introduced later in the year.
Paul Goodison, CEO, Cormant Technologies
Inc. comments: “We’re pleased to be working exclusively on the IIM product with
HellermannTyton as a leader in the Structured Cabling Market. iD and CableSolve
offer a new approach to IIM which delivers real value for money along with
portability, accuracy and flexibility in to the hands of the IT
Manager.”
