Keeping Your Image Spotless

A company’s reputation of dependability is vital to improving the bottom line and many organizations rely on their network infrastructure to remain dependable. In his latest blog, Harvey Ng talks about how the imVision infrastructure management system can help companies avoid or shorten costly network downtime.

Spotless ImageOne of the most important aspects of keeping a company image positive is the ability to convey you are dependable. With this quality associated to your brand, you will have a better chance of people having no hesitance in buying your product or using your service.

That is especially true for businesses that rely on data centers to serve and support customers—which, by the way, is just about all significantly sized businesses! Most of us, as consumers, have experienced outages of some type, whether to a favorite online shopping site, to an internet service provider or email supplier, or other. Depending on the company and the outage severity, reaction from the public can be swift and harsh. Think about that—don’t you want to prevent things like that from happening within your organization or at least decrease the impact when something goes wrong?

Most server and data center downtime can be attributed to human error, and tracking down the faults can be timely and costly. CommScope’s imVision solution can help track down faults if they happen on the physical layer of your infrastructure. For example, imVision’s can inform you—in real time—when a patch cord has been inserted or removed from your system. If a tech removed something that he or she shouldn't have, imVision will email the network administrator and provide a detailed alert so they can resolve it in a timely manner. Another innovative feature involves notifying you when a critical device is down. Within the software, you can tag a device as ‘critical’. If the system sees it go offline, then an automatic notification is sent via email.

With the imVision solution in place, you can cut the mean time to resolution from hours to minutes. As with accidental downtime, the price tag of such outages can be very costly depending on the industry.
