Management Strategy for Network Critical Physical Infrastructure

Overview When choosing a management solution for the physical infrastructure of IT networks, management of individual devices is necessary in order to have visibility to the many data points required for the reliable operation of network-critical physical infrastructure (NCPI). Element management solutions offer the optimum approach as they manage a particular type of device and have the ability to assimilate and, more importantly, make manageable the large volume of data necessary for network availability. Download this white paper from APC for important information on developing your NCPI management strategy.
