Article describes enterprises face engine room equipment update challenges, how through electronic intelligent patch panel and artificial management flexibly management patch panels, in achieving economy while have higher security.
With network applications more need processed data increasingly large room equipment needed also increasing. Yet room area is fixed, With cable increasing, many network administrator face densely cable rack and limited room space helpless, how can room neatly, cabling design organized?
Traditional patch panel shortcomings
Original room cabling adopted traditional patch panel, see complex chaotic room structure not know where start, replace traditional MDF imperative. Traditional MDF has many faults, maintenance up nor convenient and bring security risks. Here are points:
Not intuitive. Traditional MDF label Article mostly paper the, paper bad uneven. Labels handwritten, organic fight; there color have monochrome; need To open cabinet close can clearly. If time long, due room environmental reasons, such artificially wear, air humid other factors make label more illegible to managers inconvenience.
Maintenance inconvenient. All MDF ports need write label workload. Secondly maintenance, find and change inconvenient. To jumper, first to investigate document, find to hop port location is corresponding cabinet a line, a column. There, labels stickers easy swap, dirty, old, leading lookup inconvenient waste time and manpower.
Security risks more. Cable heterogeneous and lack planning, easy plug cold channel seriously affected room cooling and cooling. On row line wiring no safe reliable implementation programs increased fault and downtime possibilities.
As one ordinary room management personnel, face room extension devices updated requirements, above problems solved. Wiring is becoming enterprises important infrastructure, enterprises also used cabling management Intelligent wiring system proposed greater demands and needs hope intelligent cabling system reducing company hardware facilities costs while can safeguard enterprise information flow security.
E-Smart Distribution manual management
With cabling construction scale, For cabling standardized management requirements increasingly high, so some standard started introduced. Most notably U.S. electronics Industry Association and American communications Industry Association formulated commercial buildings telecommunications cabling standard, that ANSl/EIA/TIA-568. To meet standard, smart cabling management technology continuously development, electronic patch panel technology appears and gradually applied. In Equipment Update, we choose use electronic MDF Intelligent wiring management techniques. It has following features and advantages:
Real time – Avoid management time delay
Logical – Avoid management low efficiency
Concentration – Avoid human resources excessive inputs
Security – detection illegal equipment intrusion
Electronic distribution frame Intelligent cabling system traditional cabling system and intelligent management linked electronically patch panel intelligent cabling system will network connection framework and change automatic passed system management software, management system will received implementation information processed users query management system can keep abreast cabling system latest structure. By management elements Full electronic management, can do intuitive, real and efficient paperless management.
Use electronic distribution frame smart wiring system simply few manual management can achieve room management. Re deployed, machine room cable neat, data entry and change simply computer operate and refresh database saving administrator lot tedious work, more flexible.
Summary
Informationization rapid development let traditional MDF powerless, how low cost efficient room management is important consideration one. The use of electronic intelligent patch panel management manual management, not only a more tidy layout, easy to manage, but also reduce security risks, with higher efficiency, while bringing economic, but also to achieve high security.
