December 23, 2005—OptiWatch is the latest intelligent fiber optic cable infrastructure solution by Data Center Systems (DSC) used for tracking and managing data center connections in real time, according to DCS. It was formerly marketed as IFS/9000 and OptiManager.
The redesigned product, explains DSC, is designed for companies that need total control of their complex data center connectivity. OptiWatch intelligently manages the physical connections for the diverse hardware within data centers providing essential tracking and reporting.
“Implementing an intelligent solution like OptiWatch improves disaster avoidance planning and reduces the costs and time associated with inefficient, non-intelligent cable infrastructure systems,” says Kevin Ehringer, CEO. Moreover, OptiWatch provides companies an audit trail of the physical connectivity in their data centers, which supports Sarbanes Oxley compliance.
OptiWatch is a turnkey solution consisting of patch panels, cables, and management software. With OptiWatch, every move, add, and change is tracked in real time, according to OptiWatch. Management is alerted to improper connections, and the entire system runs on its own private network to protect the integrity of the data it transports.
