MOVE BEYOND SPREADSHEETS

Until now, documenting every part of the path of a cross connect was nearly impossible, with many organizations relying on spreadsheets. In order to scale, NCS built the cross connect inventory management system, XCIM.

SaaS Cross Connect Inventory Management for Data Center Operators

DOCUMENT EVERY HOP

Build connections between panels and equipment to document the entire path of a cross connect through the data center, or even between data centers.

CONNECT YOUR CUSTOMERS

Cross connects can represent a connection between two customers or between a customer and a carrier.

INFRASTRUCTURE CAPACITY

Predefine existing infrastructure connections (like room-to-room) and use those connections, and new ones, to build the path of a cross connect.

ROOM LAYOUT

Use the floorplan editor to position cages and racks in a flexible room layout. All browser based, not special plugins required.

A NEW ANGLE

View a 3D version of a floorplan directly in your browser, even on tablets.

SITES AND CAMPUSES

The application allows you to organize your data center space by campus, site/building, and location/room.

CAGE INVENTORY

Create an inventory of cages, and define their size, shape, location, and customer ownership.

RACK INVENTORY

Use the rack library to predefine types of racks. After creating a rack, you can position network equipment and patch panels.

ACCURATE IMAGING

In 3D views, the racks are accurately represented based on the items they contain.

PATCH PANELS

Create an inventory of every patch panel and port in the data center, along with rules for guiding connections.

PORT LEVEL DETAIL

Panels can be any type and role, with any port labeling scheme. All the parameters are controlled by the user.

CUSTOMER RESERVATIONS

Data center operators often reserve ports for customers in a meet-me-room, and now those reservations can be tracked.

Powerful and Flexible Reports

NETWORK EQUIPMENT

Create an inventory of all the network equipment in the data center.

EQUIPMENT LIBRARY

Build a library of different types of equipment and interface cards with port level detail.

INTERFACE CARDS

Install interface cards in equipment with an easy to use drag-n-drop interface. Keep in inventory of spares as well.

RESOLVE ISSUES

Use the trouble ticket feature to track customer issues related to circuits and document outages.

STORE RELEVANT DATA

Upload documents and use the rich text editor to record the complete story.

CALENDAR

Schedule tickets in a calendar.
