iTRACS Introduces DCIM Open Exchange Framework™ – an Open, Bi-directional Collaborative Framework for DCIM-related Data, Systems, and Workflows

DCIM Open Exchange Framework™

Chicago, Illinois (PRWEB) December 13, 2012

iTRACS Corporation, Inc., the leading provider of open, enterprise-class Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) solutions, today announced two advancements in the evolution and growth of the DCIM industry: the DCIM Open Exchange Framework™ and the ourDCIM™ Software Developer Community.

These developments reflect the increasing importance of DCIM as an enabler of business value for the enterprise, and the need for an open, collaborative community that unleashes the potential of DCIM as an infrastructure management game-changer.

“DCIM is now broadly accepted as the primary method for achieving efficiency and increasing the business output and value of infrastructure ecosystems,” said Steven Brasen, Managing Research Director, Enterprise Management Associates. “iTRACS is taking a leadership role with the open democratization of context-rich information in its 3D visualization environment. DCIM is an interconnected environment in which data, systems, and workflows must be shared between IT, Facilities, Building Management Systems, and the Business. Integrations should be broad-based so it’s not just data-to-data, but systems-to-systems both within and beyond the DCIM sphere. To be open means equal access to data, process, and workflow should be provided to all constituents in a visualized environment that makes information meaningful and actionable. iTRACS is taking the industry where it needs to go.”

DCIM Open Exchange Framework™

The DCIM Open Exchange Framework™ is core to iTRACS’ vision for DCIM as an open systems management-based solution. It’s the information highway that connects all outside data sources, systems, and workflows to the iTRACS Converged Physical Infrastructure Management™ (CPIM®) software suite, allowing for the seamless bi-directional exchange of information. With the DCIM Open Exchange Framework™, iTRACS’ extensible systems-management environment can send or receive any data point from any other vendor or system using open, industry-standard interfaces and protocols. The framework simplifies the entire interchange with a standardized interface that speeds integrations, eliminates risk, and fosters rapid wins for the customer. The framework is not offered as a standard – it’s offered as a means to accelerate the openness within the physical layer that’s been enjoyed at the logical layer for years.

“The DCIM Open Exchange Framework™ helps unlock the vast amount of data within the physical infrastructure and turn it into actionable, context-rich information driving a new level of business value for DCIM customers,” said Elizabeth Given, President and CEO of iTRACS. “This is not an API or partnering program. It’s a gateway unlocking the free and open exchange of information related to the physical infrastructure, connecting iTRACS with outside data sources, enterprise systems, business workflows within the customer’s organization, even other DCIM vendors. Its two-way data exchange creates a true win-win – the DCIM ecosystem is enriched with new streams of operational and other data, and the customer’s business systems and workflows are enriched by pulling information from iTRACS back into their environments.”

Leveraging this framework technology, iTRACS has already completed integrations with Intel, Power Assure, OSIsoft, Hewlett-Packard, Unite Technologies, BMC, Liebert, Geist, APC Schneider, CA Technologies, and others.

“The framework simplifies the entire integration process, offering a rapid early win for our joint customers,” said Brad Wurtz, President and CEO of Power Assure. “What is particularly alluring is how the framework fosters the bi-lateral exchange of information. We can feed our real-time energy data and other management information into the iTRACS suite, where it is visualized in iTRACS’ award-winning systems management platform. Or we can pull iTRACS data into our system to help customers optimize their energy management strategies within the Power Assure environment.”

ourDCIM™ Software Developer Community

The new ourDCIM™ Software Developer Community is designed to facilitate the free and open exchange of information about and relating to physical infrastructure; to advance the continued evolution of DCIM technology; and to drive continued innovations in performance and business value for DCIM customers worldwide.

To foster this collaboration, iTRACS is making its software development tools – as well as data, 3D visualization, intelligence, what-if scenarios, and high-level analytics – available to software developers around the world. Software developers will have access to a large portfolio of web services-based capabilities in addition to a standard software development kit.

The ourDCIM™ Software Developer Community will be open in February, 2013.

Epiphan Systems Adds Voice to Instant Web Conferencing Solution

Ottawa, Canada (PRWEB) September 23, 2004

The most cost-effective and convenient web conferencing solution now includes instant voice conferencing, says Epiphan Systems, makers of VGA2WEB. The product, which enables organizations to avoid costly collaboration software and service fees, now also includes an option to create conference bridges on an ad hoc basis.

Mike Sandler, Epiphan’s President and CEO, said, “Our VGA2WEB customers ASKED us whether we could make voice conferencing as simple and cost-effective as we have made web conferencing. We took on the challenge and today we’re pleased to announce that VGA2WEB users now have one-click access to setting up ad-hoc voice conferences through the VGA2WEB interface.”

VGA2WEB works by broadcasting the video stream from any VGA port to the web. Through a private URL, conference participants can view the video stream being presented from a computer desktop, including mouse movements and direct memory access (DMA)-based camera streams. Through the product’s tablet PC interface, a presenter can include whiteboard-style drawing in the web presentation.

Customers using the product’s Professional and Enterprise versions will now be able to click an icon on the VGA2WEB interface to initiate a voice conference call. VGA2WEB will provide the presenter with a phone number and pass code for users, who simply need to dial in to be connected to the voice portion of the conference. The feature adds no cost to the VGA2WEB solution and there are no conference service charges for the customer.

Sandler added, “With this reservation-less voice conferencing feature, users can now set-up ad hoc conference bridges just as easily as they can project the contents of their desktops to the web. For the first time, multi-media web conferencing is truly accessible to all businesses, including SOHO users, teleworkers and small businesses.”

VGA2WEB instant web conference solution is a fraction of the cost of other web collaboration alternatives. It installs in seconds, works with any server or operating system, and requires no software to be downloaded to the presenter or user’s computer. The presenter simply plugs his or her laptop or monitor into a VGA cable that attaches to the VGA2WEB product. Remote participants simply open a web browser and enter a password to access the visual content of courses, presentations, meetings and more.

VGA2WEB, including the new voice conference feature, is available immediately from Epiphan Systems. More information can be found at http://www.epiphan.com, or by calling +1 (613) 482-4613.
