// when transparency matters.

IT and telecommunications are the lifeblood of modern enterprises. The associated infrastructure and services are mission-critical. Developing and upgrading them is vital for maintaining a competitive edge, but involves ever-increasing investment and substantial risks.One consequence of this scenario is the industrialization of IT. Businesses are taking a more professional approach to managing their IT and telecommunications resources, treating it in a similar way to their funding requirements and production capacity management.

An essential prerequisite is transparency throughout the organization. Only by having the relevant quantitative and qualitative information on assets available “at the push of a button” is it possible to synchronize resources and requirements, provide departments with new technologies and IT services in an efficient manner, and control IT processes effectively. In short, transparency is the basis for smart planning and control of operational expenditures and investment projects.

FNT software provides this transparency.

Fulfilling this promise is what motivates the FNT team every day.

| 54 |

We have been specializing in delivering transparency since 1994. Early projects focused on documenting and planning physical assets, such as cabling, computers, and telecommu-nications networks. This soon grew to include configuration data and, in addition to visualizing the status quo, increasing-ly involved infrastructure optimization and the modeling and provision of services.

Today, we provide our customers with sophisticated, flexibly configurable standardized software and support for manag-ing IT and telecommunications solutions, data centers, and infrastructure.

// FNT Puts You in Control

Every IT service requires an infrastructure, which makes things complicated in practice. What is the current situation with regard to cabling and client configurations in foreign subsidiaries? Do servers, storage media, cooling systems, and power supplies in the relevant data centers have any spare ca-pacity? What exactly is the situation regarding physical and logical network resources? Which applications are being bun-dled to create services, and who uses these services within the organization? The situation is exacerbated by the exponential growth in data volume and increasing integration of external elements into internal services.

// Clear Visions Begin with Holistic Insight

IT has grown up. Management teams in modern enterprises are actively

promoting the industrialization of IT. As in a production environment, IT

managers must provide services faster and more efficiently in order to

improve their support for internal teams across a wide variety of tasks,

serve customers and partners faster, thereby strengthening the company’s

competitive position.

Valid, detailed information is crucial for efficient service and infrastructure management as well as for service desks.

FNT is committed to delivering such information. Visualiza-tion, optimization, industrialization – FNT software provides maximum insight into your company’s resources and poten-tial, allowing you to plan and operate your infrastructure ef-fectively.

Our experience, expertise, and professional tools, processes, and structures ensure that future FNT software develop-ment will continue to be of the highest quality. All key data about your IT assets is combined in an integrated data mod-el based on open interfaces to other systems, the API, and a special staging area. A library containing more than 50,000 predefined, logically consistent elements facilitates data capture. The result is valid, detailed information about your company’s potential and greater certainty and efficiency in the operation of infrastructure and provision of services, all at the push of a button.

Over 500 companies have already chosen FNT software as their central platform for optimizing and industrializing IT and telecommunications. We are proud of this fact, and it keeps us moving forward.

Why not see what we can do for you?

Your organization owes its success and competitive edge to high-

performance, reliable IT systems. But as you know, the devil is in the

details.

// FNT Software Reflects these Requirements

The underlying data model ensures smooth interaction throughout the organization. All information, all items, and their relationships are available in one central repository with an open architecture – seamlessly, without duplication of ef-fort, with complete transparency, and with predefined inter-faces to other applications, such as the ERP system, service desks and help desks, telco systems, IT portfolio manage-ment systems, and many more.

This allows a correspondingly high degree of implementation flexibility. Some customers favor decentralized deployment of FNT‘s solutions in IT departments or infrastructure manage-ment for one specific task due to their powerful functionality. Other companies prefer a centrally managed implementation. Either way, your company will quickly enjoy the ongoing bene-fits of our modular, standardized software.

FNT develops proven solutions for all relevant task areas based on

a platform featuring a comprehensive, integrated data model. FNT

software thus equips individual teams and managers with powerful,

specialized tools that provide optimal support for IT, telecommunications,

and data center tasks and processes from a single source.

IT and infrastructure management involves a wide variety of tasks. Growth

in their scope and significance has led to differentiation and specialization.

Ultimately, though, everything still needs to work together.

You can therefore identify, control, and verify your entire logical and physical infrastructure in one standardized, dynami - cally expandable data model, including all CI interrelation-ships.

// Asset & Configuration Management

IT is not an end in itself. IT must help organizations to achieve their

business objectives more completely and efficiently. However, to gain

control of your IT processes, you first need to know your assets.

With this kind of support, ITIL® processes become truly efficient. You can plan changes and import them into the actual inventory after installation with a mouse click. Using the configuration items, you can also define responsibilities (ownership) and dependencies for your business processes, benefit from a valid, audit-proof database for conducting audits/reviews, thereby achieving true control over your live environment.

Depending on the individual task and purpose, IT infrastructure is

viewed and managed in very different ways. The business view differs

from the technical view. Are infrastructure components, such as cables,

networks, servers, and storage, documented? Is there transparency around

virtualization, operating systems, and applications? Are licenses being

managed correctly? All aspects of the infrastructure must be managed in a

single system in order to achieve efficient management and planning and

to make the IT factory a reality.

// Data Center Infrastructure Management

Data centers are the focal point of modern IT environments. IT and facility

components (cooling, power, etc.) come together here to form a functional

unit. Accordingly, integrated solutions are essential for achieving efficient,

reliable data center management. FNT provides next-generation data center

infrastructure management (DCIM) in the form of standardized software.

FNT’s Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) solu-tion is the central management and optimization software for your data center. From building infrastructure (power, cooling, floorspace, etc.) and IT components (servers, storage, and network) down to the services (software, applications, services, and virtualization), FNT’s integrated DCIM solution enables a comprehensive view of all resources in your data center and provides transparency for the many complex MAC processes (move, add, change) in a typical data center.

Comprehensive linking of information to facilities, IT com-ponents, and business services makes it possible not only to

“With FNT Command, managers can carry out DCIM and network,

cabling and IP management. Because FNT provides monitoring and

asset management capabilities as part of FNT Command,

we consider this to be a complete DCIM suite.”

Katie Broderick, Andy Lawrence, 451 Research

determine the current status and workload, but also to fore-cast future utilization and power consumption. Similarly, you can identify underutilized (“ghost”) and orphaned servers and produce target/actual rack density comparisons.

Since the FNT data model captures everything up to the busi-ness service level, real-world costs can be calculated and used in invoices and reports. The inclusion of the physical layer, vi-sualization of the data center in a 3D footprint and in planning functions, plus sophisticated capacity analysis, enhance the efficiency and reliability of all data center operations. Inter- faces enable data exchange and integration with other systems.

Ulrich Hoffmann, Division manager for the network development at Unitymedia KabelBW

Data connections are vital to communication, so a complete overview

of network and service status is essential at all times. FNT’s

Telecommunication Resource Inventory solution enables centralized,

integrated management of all network and service resources in the

telecommunications environment. As such, it forms the basis of a modern

OSS/BSS architecture.

A central repository provides you with all the relevant infor-mation, from the physical network through the logical net-work to the end-customer services. Back-office systems can be provided with network information via standardized inter-faces. The FNT solution delivers the transparency you need to improve your processes and enable integration and automa-tion. You can thus cut response times and increase customer satisfaction.

Klaus Schultz-Fademrecht, Senior Manager Networks, Fraport AG

FNT’s Cable Management solution allows you to document, plan, and manage any internal IT networks or cable and net-work infrastructures as part of inside plant management. In the outside plant management arena, it is equally easy to map extensive telecommunications and broadband networks (e.g. FTTx) in a wide-area, city, or local loop network. The func-tional bandwidth ranges from splice plan to signal tracing.

// Cable Management

Cables are superhighways for information, and cable networks form

the backbone of modern communications. FNT’s Cable Management

solution is the most comprehensive solution on the market and provides

full transparency into your cable and network infrastructures. All types

of topologies and technologies are geo-referenced or schematically

represented. Network maintenance, planning, modification, and expansion

all become significantly more efficient.

No matter how complex and heterogeneous network infra-structures are, all cable and network information is linked in the FNT data model and can be instantly evaluated. When in-cidents occur, troubleshooting is faster, and decisions about wiring cables to services can be based on hard facts.
