How to implement improved practices and systems for enterprise environments covering data centres, networks, services etc.

The final webinar of our series on Planning and Managing Cabling Infrastructure looks at the management reporting and life cycle issues that cover existing and new cabling infrastructure. Understanding and reporting capacity, decommissioning, upgrading, billing, evolving control processes and changes in contractors. The  management issues that need to be addressed to keep costs under control and meet business connectivity needs.

Planning and Managing Cabling Infrastructure - Part 4 Managing capacity

In the third webinar on cable infrastructure we'll look at connecting up the IT and other systems to the cabling infrastructure and ongoing change management. Covering administration, change processes, troubleshooting and producing data and power diagrams to support risk management and monitoring systems.

Planning and Managing Cabling Infrastructure - Part 3 Connecting The IT Systems

Maintaining and evolving technology skills, as well as selective use of service partners is a key aspect of TR-60 Infrastructure Life Cycle Management. Changes to teams, roles and authority levels are inevitable with the potential to lose talent and not keep up with the skills required for long term management of ICT infrastructure. Our speakers are Jerry Bowman, TR-60 Engineering Committee Chair, David Cuthbertson, TR-60.B Subcommittee Chair, and Kelly Gambrell, CEO of K5 Construction Group and K5 Connect.

TIA TR-60.TSB Resourcing the Infrastructure, People and Skills

In the second webinar on cable infrastructure we'll look at optimising the detailed design and implementation of cabling systems. Both new build as well as upgrading or extending the current system.

Planning and Managing Cable Infrastructure - Part 2 Detailed Design

The second TR-60 TSB webinar focuses on how improved life cycle management reduces management costs, operational risks and downtime. If infrastructure design and implementation are focused only on the technology working day 1, then opportunities for cost savings and operational controls are missed. If racks are too densely packed the cabling will be messy. The cabling will become a risk every time changes are made and tracing connectivity when the network is down takes longer. You may save on Day 1 and then pay for it Day 2, Day 3 and for the next 20 years. The wise decision is to design and build for change, flexibility and ease of management with TR-60 standards as a reference.

TIA TR-60.TSB Reducing Management Costs, Operational Risks and Downtime

In this webinar series we'll cover our new AssetGen Cabling Architect system as well as the more detailed build and operational aspects of data cabling. Ideal for proposals, creating build and patching documents as well as maintaining connectivity information over the long term.

Planning and Managing Cable Infrastructure - Part One

As the TIA TR-60 ICT Lifecycle Management Standards are introduced into IT and ICT workstreams, this new Day 2 thinking may not be intuitive to some professionals in areas like HR, Governance, Supply Chain and Security.  This webinar, presented by Jerry Bowman TR-60 Chair and David Cuthbertson TR-60.B Subcommittee Chair will introduce the listener to some of the business problems that TR-60 will solve, and provide guidance on the use case for the thirty (30) standards as they’re released.  The webinar will also provide some examples of the planned TR-60 technology management benchmarking system to allow technology stakeholders to set performance objectives and measure achievement of them.  Benchmarking is vital to finding areas of opportunity to monitor, improve and empower every internal and outsourced IT department resulting in the right processes and overall productivity, which all drive revenue. The TR-60 TSB webinar will introduce the concepts, desired outcomes and some early prescriptive guidance on how to use TR-60 to achieve them. #supplychainmanagement #TR-60 #TIAstandards #ITgovernance

TIA TR-60.TSB The Gateway To Outcome-Based Infrastructure Management

Understanding how hardware, cabling, software and systems deliver data to users isn't simple - with change risks multiplied by the complexity involved. The database driven AssetGen system efficiently replaces 1000s of spreadsheets and automates multiple Visio diagrams that explain physical, logical and business dependencies. In this webinar we will show how complexity can be simplified so projects, changes and risks can be managed more effectively and with less engineering effort than current methods. The webinar will show how not to drown in documentation that needs to potentially cover all technologies and their dependencies.

Simplifying Infrastructure Complexity With AssetGen

Poor ICT information management and documentation is unfortunately very common. Not only does it result in project delays and additional costs, it also compromises controls and life cycle process improvement. Key to TR-60 design, build and operational processes is reducing the burden of documentation and knowledge transfer by efficient information management. Using one name for a building, labelling a rack with an identifier, knowing where the latest network diagram is, not having to trace cables - sounds simple in concept. In this webinar the TR-60.B committee will cover the preparation, results and plans for developing the first industry standards for Day 2 management of ICT infrastructure.

ICT Infrastructure Information Management Standards - TIA TR-60.B Overview

Mapping relationships and dependencies between systems isn't easy, especially when different levels of detail need to be presented. As complexity and scale increases, database driven diagramming reduces the manual effort to create, update and change perspectives which may include servers, data flows, environments, cloud and business groupings. But it needs to be done so you can assess and communicate risks, consolidation and transformations as well as diagnose problems and issues. In our webinar we will show how multiple mapping methods can be managed as well as the use of our new free Visio relationship connector.
Ideal for any person or organisation who has to map dependencies and risks for change control, cyber issues, disaster planning, system migration, operational service reporting and ITIL / life cycle processes.

Mapping systems, services and dependencies using Visio

TIA TR-60 introduces Lifecycle Management (LCM) strategic business concepts into IT and ICT management, enabling good decisions from “cradle to grave” for technology products, services, or systems.  The suite of TR-60 standards will provide a framework for planning, implementing, and managing ICT resources including people, processes, and technology.  TIA TR-60 covers lifecycle planning, design, implementation, operations, and information management - bringing together process and practices to ensure balance between change, business value and costs. TR-60 is intended to help technology, governance, human resources, security, and supply chain professionals provide positive business outcomes when challenged with improving control and having confidence in managing the constant change within an ecosystem that encompasses scores of hardware, software, networks across a wide range of systems, environments, and people.

Introducing the TIA TR-60 Infrastructure Life Cycle Management Standards.

Diagrams help with design and understanding of network topologies, but there are so many network types and information needs. Representing complex infrastructure is made simpler and faster using MS Visio with the automation techniques we’ll cover in the webinar. The convergence of IoT, security, signage and BMS with ICT results in many parallel “networks” on a mix of physical and virtual infrastructure – expanding the numbers of network diagrams required. This webinar focuses on reducing effort and improving quality of project and operational network topology diagrams - complementing discovery, monitoring and workflow toolsets. We will cover LAN, VLAN, SDN, SAN, cloud, copper/fiber/power, environments, data flows, resilience, addressing, etc.

Integrating Excel & Visio For Data Center Management

We map data flows to show understanding of system transactions, dependencies, fail over, compliance with regulations, change impacts, cloud migrations, firewall settings and capacity needs. Capturing, creating and maintaining data flow diagrams across many systems and applications in a large enterprise is not simple, as just mapping one system can be a challenge. In our webinar we cover Visio automation techniques to capture and refresh multiple sets of data flows, creating an institutional knowledge base lacking in many enterprises and service providers.

Using Visio to Map Data Flows In Enterprises

Businesses know their  IT infrastructure is mission critical, but that doesn't mean they'll fund IT resources to manage it properly. So its up to the IT teams and their service providers to find efficiencies in delivering projects, managing business as usual problems and providing evidence of control and risk management. A common result is the IT systems documentation is often inconsistent and not trusted - resulting in reverse engineering, unnecessary audits, extended disruption and overloading of teams. It wont get better unless a more efficient way is found - the focus of our webinar.

Efficient ways to document mission critical infrastructure

Q. How can you easily create and update 100s or 1000s of Visio diagrams?  Visio is a great tool but it takes engineering time and skill to get good diagrams. We'll show how to automate the process for regular updating of schematics such as racks, networks, floor plans, data centers, wifi hotspots, systems, application maps, cloud computing, power, etc. Automation is the simplest way to get trusted, consistent diagrams for understanding of complex environments. We'll show how it can be achieved in our 45 minute webinar.

Visio Automation For Enterprise Infrastructure

Understanding cabling infrastructure capacity is not simple or easy, but is vital for managing projects and changes efficiently. This webinar will cover campus, data centre and building infrastructure where copper, fibre and blown fibre may be implemented using fixed and modular components. Understanding paths, end points, reservation and business uses is made easier with Visio automation techniques and data management. We'll also efficient ways to ensure that capacity reporting is maintained by project processes and activities.

Simplifying Campus And Backbone Cabling Capacity Management

Sourcing products, services and people from external providers is well established within the ICT industry, to make best use of internal resources as well as access skills and capabilities from specialists. In our webinar we'll look at the issues this creates - positive and negative for infrastructure life cycle management (ILCM). Key suppliers may cancel product ranges, cease to provide managed services, not follow contract conditions, fail to meet SLAs as part of normal life. On the other hand, suppliers have specialist skills, a wider geographic reach and resources that can’t be replicated in house. So how can ILCM help enterprises manage supply chain and logistics risks, while still taking advantage of innovative new technologies and approaches in the market place.
