Overview
FNT Command
FNT Command gives you a unified view of your entire IT and telecommunications infrastructure. Instead of juggling disconnected spreadsheets, you get a single source of truth that maps everything from physical cables and racks to virtual servers and business services. You can document, plan, and manage your assets with precision, ensuring your data center operations run without unexpected interruptions.
The platform helps you bridge the gap between IT and facility management by tracking power consumption, cooling, and space availability in real-time. You can automate your change management processes and simulate future scenarios to see how new equipment impacts your existing setup. It is designed for large-scale environments where maintaining high availability and optimizing resource utilization are critical to your daily operations.
Nlyte
Nlyte helps you gain complete control over your data center and hybrid IT infrastructure. You can track every physical asset, from servers and cables to floor space and power strips, while monitoring real-time power consumption and environmental conditions. By centralizing this data, you can eliminate manual spreadsheets and reduce the risk of downtime caused by human error or capacity overloads.
You can also use the platform to automate your change management workflows and integrate with existing ITSM tools like ServiceNow. Whether you are managing a single colocation space or a global network of edge data centers, Nlyte provides the visibility you need to optimize energy efficiency and plan for future capacity requirements accurately.
