Firms 'wake up' to intelligent infrastructure management

Firms 'wake up' to intelligent infrastructure management Firms and businesses are increasingly realising the benefits associated with intelligent infrastructure management (IIM), according to a new survey.

Wadsworth, a leading networking and cabling product distributor, conducted the survey.

It revealed that 65 per cent of network and cabling installation companies believe they will deploy more IIM systems this year.

They put this down to an increase in demand from businesses for a solution bridging the gap between structured cabling and real-time network management tools.

Paul Miller, marketing manager at Wadsworth, said: "Traditionally IIM solutions have been seen as cost prohibitive and complicated to deploy and manage but as the need for more and more security and asset management has increased as too has the demand for IIM."

He added: "By providing the missing link between real-time management tools and the traditionally passive structured cabling, businesses of all sizes can benefit from improved fault resolution times, real-time asset tracking and forensic information from the event log."
