Resource management based on wiring visualization technology

Before starting the topic, let us have a simple understanding of the concept of visualization itself; visualization is the theory of using computer graphics and image processing technology to convert data into graphics or images displayed on the screen and perform interactive processing. Methods and techniques.

Wiring visualization: docking and integrating tools and systems such as monitoring, assets, work orders, and processes, and visually display them on monitors, large screens and other media with graphics and images. Insert picture description here
What role can wiring visualization play:

  1. Intuitively transmit signals quickly and efficiently.
  2. Local, global, and hierarchical resources (number of lines, label identification, line routing direction, racking, hoistway information, automation equipment, network products, etc.) are displayed in graphics and images at a glance.
  3. Whether the resource status is normal or not, the monitoring personnel do not need technical support, and can identify normal or abnormal locally or remotely.
  4. Visibly and intuitively understand the nature of idleness and occupation of resources to avoid resource reuse and waste.
  5. Submit the data to the relevant work system, form a work order, and let the operation and maintenance personnel enter the specified work.
    Having said that, some readers may have already formed some pictures. This seems to be the docking of existing resources, assets, and systems, which is similar to the "Internet of things (IoT)" system at the enterprise and industry level. Through the unified display of graphics and images, it can achieve a comprehensive view of the small mountains and strategic planning. The rhythm! Insert picture description here
    Below, we briefly illustrate a few scenarios:

Scenario 1: An operator (ISP) in a certain city in a certain province understands that "the spirit of advocating a green and clean urban environment" needs to gradually carry the overhead link into the ground (the overhead optical cable falls into the hoistway).

The leader of the operator asked: What types of optical cables, how many optical cables, and how many cores of the optical cables are idle in our shaft (Area B to B...X to A; A street to A...)? According to the type of idle cables in the well, the number of optical cables, and the number of optical cable cores, the number and types of existing overheads need to be corresponding to the ground.
The employees of the relevant departments opened the Excel spreadsheet that may only be understood by him, sorted out and searched, and reported to the leader with a guilty conscience.

The leader took a deep breath and said: "For a while, you can raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while, but you can't grasp the basic information and data. Give me your computer and I will see for myself."

The leader took the computer and saw the densely packed logos and numbers in the Excel table. His scalp numb and said: "You go back and sort it out. We will meet next week to continue discussing this matter."

Wiring visualization is done like this: the city’s geographic information, link routing information, manhole cover information, link type quantity information, link information, summary data and other information are presented in graphics and images. Visual display, query, and change of links and resources (number of lines, label identification, line routing direction, racking, shaft information, automation equipment, network products, etc.)Insert picture description hereInsert picture description here

Scenario 2: An IDC computer room (hundreds, thousands or tens of thousands of cabinets) requires 6 network switches and 15 servers. According to the equipment asset information, the equipment is put on the corresponding Rack103, Rack401, Rack822, and the staff is required to check the idle information of the rack, the U position information on the shelf, and the cabinet location information before putting on the shelves. Workers can only dispatch work orders for operations after they have inquired, collected, summarized, and checked mechanically on the spot (or in a densely packed Excel table).

It violates IDC's purpose of intelligent work, and violates the management concept of "human-machine cooperation" for IDC in previous data center international summits. Increased personnel costs, reduced work efficiency, and made "Party A's father" doubt the timeliness of IDC's work.

Wiring visualization does this: docking asset systems, reading asset system data; corresponding to idle rack information and U position information. Graphical and image presentations enable equipment to be associated with rack cabinets and U-positions with asset identification; data is submitted to the work order system. After the work order is confirmed, the corresponding rack, equipment, U-positions, cabinet data and other information are synchronized. Insert picture description hereInsert picture description here
Network management system connection:
support SNMP, IPMI, WMI, SQL, etc. It can automatically discover devices and attributes, custom MIB, layer 2 and layer 3 links, real-time status, application data, interface information, etc.

The docking of the asset system:
1. The asset file is built and the visual API is called at the same time, and the asset model is established at the same time.
2. Visualization system, equipment loading and unloading. Read the available loading and unloading resources and equipment from the asset system and correspond to specific resources and equipment through models.

The docking of the work order system:
1. The visualization system, equipment loading and unloading, and line changes send information to the work order system to create work orders.
2. After the work order is confirmed, the visualization system information realizes the synchronization of resources and equipment data.

Next, I want to share a visual product tool to solve the cumbersome, mechanized, and manual pain points of centralized management and aggregation of large amounts of information on existing assets and resources. That is the "NWVDI Visualization" product, which provides visual solutions for the scenarios and user needs mentioned above.

It can intuitively manage optical fiber, copper cable, transmission and wireless network; use dynamic map to control external link connection, narrow the view from the world to streets and buildings. Graphically manage the optical fibers and manhole covers on the GIS map; management of information between parts and buildings, between floors, cabinets, racks, equipment links, ports, and related asset resource information.

The management functions of "NWVDI Visualization" products can be roughly divided into the following categories:

Copper and fiber management
cable management tray
outdoor ISP cable management
scenario LAN / private network / data link management center
manages the network device and a server
power line management,
network management, asset, work order management systems docking
now Can use NWVDI Visualization (NWVDI Visualization) to achieve.

Written at the end: Do
you have a certain understanding of wiring visualization? Does it resonate with the scenes mentioned in the passage? Welcome to leave a message and put forward your valuable comments and suggestions. Let us work together to achieve "a list of small mountains" in the cumbersome basic work of informatization; to achieve real human-machine cooperation "strategic planning" to reduce operation and maintenance costs and improve work efficiency.
