How to manage massive network infrastructure?

With 2015 year 8 In June, the State Council issued 《 Action plan for big data development 》 marked , It has entered its eighth year in the information construction and digital transformation . If the 1987 year 1 month 24 Japan , The national economic information center was officially established as the starting point of information construction , Then our information construction has been carried out 35 years , Finance 、 traffic 、 military 、 The scale of network infrastructure in various fields such as energy has reached a very high level .

At present , No matter the construction specification or the number of equipment in various fields , A qualitative leap has taken place in the network infrastructure , More and more functional requirements , The scale of equipment is getting larger and larger , Network links are becoming more and more complex , Traditional planning and management tools obviously can not meet the current needs . Sum up , The current problems are as follows 5 In terms of ：

1. There are many hidden dangers ： Small operations often trigger many problems , Even lead to safety accidents .

2. Troubleshooting is difficult and inefficient ： Complicated lines , There is no place to start .

3.  Changes and expansion are uncontrollable and cannot be traced and monitored , Capacity expansion failures often occur .

4.  Low resource utilization ： Some equipment is idle , But they are still investing in new equipment ;

5.  Backward management means ： Most of the management work still relies heavily on manual work , formation “ Digital construction 、 Manual management ” The awkward state of .

For the above problems , After more than ten years of demand collection and independent research and development, Beijing Neville has , Combining digital twin technology and management mode innovation , Launched a solution to the pain points of network infrastructure management nVisual Network visual management platform , Specifically for geospatial 、 Environmental infrastructure 、IT infrastructure 、 Cables and connections 、 Outdoor communication facilities 、 The virtual objects 、 The office area, operation and maintenance personnel and other eight management objects are managed visually , Breaking the traditional management method is only for IT Limitations of equipment management or partition management among various objects , Provide brand new Overall 、 Visualization and hierarchy Management means , Realization Resource Visualization 、 Refined management and efficient operation .

nVisual The network visual management platform can realize four application scenarios ：

One 、 Visual management of building generic cabling

• Accurately record the end-to-end connection between network devices

• Manage telephone and network lines

• Manage network connection links

• Manage panels 、 Switch 、 wireless AP And information panels

• Manage the space capacity of the machine room cabinet

• Manage and identify available network resources

• Manage cable tray and conduit availability

• Plan of management computer room and office area

• Easily and quickly locate network assets

Two 、 Outdoor optical fiber resource management

• Locate the outdoor optical cable route and equipment location

• Easily manage the availability of backbone cables

• Manage the optical cable and asset equipment in the pipe trench and pipe well

• Manage fiber connections and communication links

• Create auto select routes for new links

• Generation based GIS Outdoor communication resource layout of

3、 ... and 、 Data center network infrastructure management

• Manage and plan your rack space usage and power consumption

• Manage the physical layout space usage of the data center

• Manage the impact of power and network outages on the data center

• Provide asset and connection data support for daily management and capacity expansion

• Manage user space in managed data centers

• Manage the lifecycle of data center assets

• Efficiency in managing daily changes

Four 、 Automated network topology management

• Infinite hierarchical topology , Easily manage large networks

• Discovery by topology LLDP Automatic generation of network topology

• Infinitely customize the attributes and display contents of the ne object

• Real time monitoring display equipment \ port \ Link traffic

• Real time display device \ port \ Link state

• User defined monitoring objects and OID

• The ne object creates a work order task

• NE attachment management , Associate profile

Summary

Through the management of the network infrastructure of the above four application scenarios ,nVisual The network visual management platform can improve the security and reliability of the system 、 Improve work efficiency 、 The four core values of improving resource utilization and reducing human workload , Truly achieve the management purpose of reducing cost and increasing efficiency .
