Aperture Technology DevicesAperture Technology Devices tracks and manages all of yourdata center and network equipment. It visually organizesscaled drawings of your buildings, floors and facilities throughintuitive drill-downs and documents the exact location of yourequipment on scaled floor plans or in racks. In addition, itconsists of thousands of detailed "Intelligent Symbols" ofdevices and tracks all associated technical specifications suchas dimensions, power drain, heat output, etc. associated witheach of these devices, as well as any other specific informationyou need in one central repository.

With Aperture Technology Devices, you can determine exactlywhat equipment is in service, exactly where it is and what hasbeen taken out of service. This enables you to find troubledevices and fix problems quicker, efficiently plan technologyupgrades, create detailed proposals for consolidations orexpansions, determine the cooling requirements to efficientlyrun your operations, and visually review your technologyinfrastructure for making strategic decisions, resulting inreduced downtime, reduced operating costs and better supportof your organization.

Aperture Technology SpaceAperture Technology Space tracks your raised floor space(data centers, POPs, etc.). It allows you to analyze, manageand forecast space-related data such as gross, usable,unusable and common area in a central repository.

With Aperture Technology Space, you can proactively manageyour raised floor space by maximizing your space utilization,making strategic real estate decisions to acquire or consolidateraised floor space, resulting in reduced overall operating costsand fewer disruptions to your organization.

to your organization.

Aperture Power ManagementAperture Power Management tracks the power infrastructureof raised floor space (data centers, POPs, etc.). It provides youwith an accurate account of all your power handlingequipment (PDUs, UPSs, generators, etc.) and theirconnectivity information in one central repository allowing youto track from devices (i.e. server) back to generators throughpower strips, breakers, PDUs and UPSs.

With Aperture Power Management, you can prevent over-utilization and outages, ensure equipment has redundantpower, accurately manage capacity and plan your future powerrequirements, resulting in reduced downtime, reducedoperating cost, faster time to market and reduced disruptionsto your organization.

Aperture Device Connectivity Aperture Device Connectivity tracks the network connectivityof all of your technology devices in one central repository. Itdocuments port-to-port connectivity, automating theconnecting, disconnecting and tracing process.

With Aperture Device Connectivity, you can quickly locate thecause of outages, accurately manage capacity and plan your

future network requirements (ports), resulting in reduceddowntime, reduced operating cost, faster time to market andreduced disruptions to your organization.

Aperture Technology Asset CostsAperture Technology Asset Costs documents the asset(lifecycle) information associated with your technologydevices. It tracks and reports on purchase, financial,maintenance, lease and move history as well as any otherspecific asset-related information you need in one centralrepository.

With Aperture Technology Asset Costs, you can ensurecontinuity of maintenance contracts, unify maintenancecontracts and/or leases under larger agreements with betterterms and analyze equipment lifecycle costs, resulting inreduced downtime and reduced operating and ownership costs.

Aperture Logical NetworkAperture Logical Network visually documents logical networkconnectivity and configuration information of your technologydevices. It provides you with an accurate account of hardwareand software configuration in one central repository anddetailed logical diagrams that can be linked back to thephysical (location) information.

With Aperture Logical Network, you can troubleshoot networkproblems quicker and plan network upgrades, expansion andconsolidation more efficiently, resulting in reduced downtime,reduced operating cost, faster time to market and reduceddisruptions to your organization.

Aperture Technology Cost AllocationAperture Technology Cost Allocation allows you to associateand track the customer (internal or external) information withthe services you provide. It allows you to document rackspace, power and port use by customer for charging back toexternal customers or cost centers.

With Aperture Technology Cost Allocation, you can accuratelybill customers for services provided maximizing revenue toyour organization.

Aperture Circuit ManagementAperture Circuit Management allows you to visually documentyour WAN circuits on maps with detailed technicalinformation. It accurately tracks all of your circuit informationincluding carrier, cost, tech specifications and contactinformation as well as any other specific information in onecentral repository.

With Aperture Circuit Management, you can quickly retrievecircuit information when troubleshooting problems and avoidunnecessary expenditures for unused circuits by reconcilingcircuits in use with carrier billing information, resulting inreduced downtime and reduced costs.

Aperture Equipment Lifecycle Aperture Equipment Lifecycle is a web-based application thatallows organizations to manage their technology lifecycleprocess - the total process involved in technology changemanagement -- from design, procurement, receiving,installation, operation, maintenance to disposition.
