The benefits of the Molex Real Time Patching System

Reduced Downtime

Much less time needs to be allocated to the relocation and replacement of equipment. The Real Time Patching System can indicate the location of the equipment in question, and indicate when it has been successfully connected.

Identifies the source of problem

Comparison to a customer-defined database allows the Real Time Patching System to flag disconnections to the network manager, even by e-mail or on a pager.

Improves MAC process

Moves, Adds and Changes (MACS) are simplified by the use of computer generated work order. The progress of these work orders can be monitored anywhere in the world via a web connection.

Asset Utilization

By identifying the active connections to network equipment, the Real Time Patching System will provide the network manager with visibility of equipment utilisation. This way spare network capacity can be tracked, preventing un- necessary spending on expensive network hardware.

Security

With the ability to integrate with a camera you never need worry about who is conducting unauthorized moves, adds and changes ever again. You can have their picture e-mailed to you! With the addition of optional events any sort of alarm is also possible. Details of any unauthorized changes may also be sent by e-mail. The Real Time Patching System can help prevent theft.

Disaster Recovery

The ability to know the current state of your network at any given point in time, including all the users and their associated services and equipment is useful at the best of times. In a disaster recovery situation Real Time can provides current DR documentation on the enterprise equipment and cabling infrastructure. An accurate immediate report can be generated at the time of disaster detailing all equipment and cabling required for recovery purposes.

Network Audits

By automatically creating audit trail information it is possible to produce detailed statistics on network utilisation and associated work actions, enabling downtime to be further reduced.

Control

Knowing what is happening Real Time in the physical network puts the network manager back in control of the cabling infrastructure.

Cost Saving

By significantly improving the efficiency and accuracy of your moves, adds and changes (MACS), and by reducing un-necessary expenditure elsewhere on your network hardware, significant cost savings can be brought about by the implementation of the Molex Real Time Patching System.
