• Customizable user access
  Define user access and viewing capabilities to individual groups. Control access to devices by administrator-defined user accounts. Additional user access can be managed by using the built-in LDAP and Active Directory support.
• Fault notification
  Real-time event notification minimizes response times to critical physical infrastructure situations. Enables IT administrators to reduce mean time to repair, improve efficiency, and maximize uptime.
• Auto-discovery
  Reduces the time needed to install and deploy physical infrastructure devices by automatically detecting manageable devices on your network.
• Graphical trending analysis
  Access current and historic data for any device or group of devices. Plot and graph multiple data points in a logical correlation to visualize potential hazardous trends.
• Real-time monitoring
  Immediate visibility to your entire physical infrastructure through centralized, real-time device monitoring and notification enabling quick assessment of events as they occur.
