Complete mapping of your physical infrastructure

Why map your physical infrastructure centrally?

Many companies manage information on locations, buildings and rooms in different systems or documents. This makes it difficult to maintain an overview, makes dependencies invisible and increases the risk of changes or disruptions.
i-doit creates a central, logically structured and uniform documentation of your entire physical infrastructure. All locations, buildings, rooms and associated assets are linked in a clearly structured manner and are available at all times in a comprehensible manner. Audits.

Advantages:

  • Central information base for all locations and physical assets
  • Clear structure instead of distributed lists, plans and files
  • Better planning for conversions, expansions and relocations
  • High level of transparency for operations, audits and documentation requirements

Floors and room plans (visualized)

How can floors and rooms be clearly visualized?

Without visual representations, spatial relationships are difficult to understand, especially for external service providers or new employees. Errors are often the result of changes or disruptions.
i-doit enables floors and rooms to be visualized using interactive plans. Infrastructure, devices and connections are clearly displayed and directly linked to the associated information.

Advantages:

  • Quick orientation thanks to visual floor and room plans
  • Clear representation of infrastructure and occupancy
  • Fewer errors during changes, maintenance and troubleshooting
  • Better collaboration between IT, technology and facility management

Server rooms and server cabinets (visualized)

How do you maintain transparency in server rooms and server racks?

Server rooms are highly complex areas in which missing or outdated documentation can quickly lead to risks. Capacities, power supply or allocations are often not clearly comprehensible.
i-doit visualizes server rooms and server racks in a detailed and structured manner. Installed systems, network and power components are clearly displayed and logically linked.

Advantages:

  • Clear visualization of racks and components
  • Better planning of capacities, power and space requirements
  • Reduced risk during conversions and changes
  • Faster analysis in the event of faults and failures
  • Support for safe and stable operation

Network connections and cabling

How transparent is your network cabling?

In many organizations, network cabling is only partially documented or distributed across several systems. Troubleshooting is time-consuming and changes carry a high risk.
i-doit documents network connections end-to-end - from the patch panel to switches to the end device. Dependencies and connections are traceable and centrally available at all times.

Advantages:

  • End-to-end transparency of all network connections
  • Faster and more targeted troubleshooting
  • Lower risk in the event of changes and extensions
  • Better traceability of dependencies
  • Reduced downtimes during operation

Service providers, access and responsibilities

Who is responsible - and who has access?

Unclear responsibilities, missing access overviews or incompletely documented service providers pose a security and compliance risk. Reliable information is often lacking, especially in the event of audits or incidents.
i-doit enables the clear assignment of responsibilities, service providers and access rights to locations, rooms and infrastructure components. All relevant information is centrally documented and traceable.

Advantages:

  • Clear assignment of responsibilities per location and room
  • Transparent management of access and access rights
  • Better control of external service providers
  • Support for compliance and audit requirements
  • Greater security thanks to clear responsibilities
