Fraud Blocker Hybrid Infrastructure Management

Hybrid Infrastructure Management

Hybrid infrastructures open up more opportunities for companies. However, the different technologies, storage locations, service providers, billing models and dependencies between the individual infrastructure elements greatly increase complexity. Hybrid Infrastructure Management aims to provide visibility and control of all infrastructure resources.

The right solution for efficient Hybrid Infrastructure Management

If you want to manage your entire infrastructure in one place, make dependencies across physical, virtual, and service layers transparent, and create a reliable foundation for efficient processes and automation, our Asset Inventory and PLUS packages are the right choice.

What are the benefits of Hybrid Infrastructure Management?

Maximizes cloud usage transparency

The complete documentation of the combined on-premises and cloud IT infrastructure in one integrated, central data model brings transparency to cloud usage and makes cloud sprawl visible and manageable. 

Monitors cloud subscriptions

Integrated BI and reporting functionalities help to monitor the use of cloud infrastructure subscriptions beyond the planned maximum usage period. This helps avoid unnecessary costs.

Identifies responsibilities easily

Responsibilities and contact persons for cloud infrastructure subscriptions can be identified easily and reliably as all information is stored in a central repository.

Facilitates audits and certification processes

Complete and up-to-date documentation of the hybrid IT infrastructure facilitates successful audits and certifications and makes recertification a snap – with no time-consuming preparations needed.

Increases infrastructure availability 

Uniform documentation of the entire hybrid IT infrastructure enables deep insights across infrastructure layers. The visibility of interdependencies among elements significantly shortens fault resolution times.

Highlights of FNT’s Hybrid Infrastructure Management Software

The FNT solution for hybrid infrastructure management makes it possible to map the entire IT and network infrastructure, including cloud services, in a uniform and integrated data model. This includes the building infrastructure (power, cooling, space), the IT/network infrastructure (networks, servers, storage - virtual and physical, on-premises and in the cloud), connectivity (physical cabling infrastructure and logical circuits/bandwidth) and the services based on these (software, applications).  

Not only the assets themselves are documented, but also the complex dependencies between different systems and components - regardless of the manufacturer and technology. Bidirectional interfaces bundle data from different systems and map them centrally. This allows you to document, analyze, plan, control and automate your hybrid infrastructure with just a single tool. 

As a result, it no longer matters where data and resources are actually located – whether on-premises, in the cloud or at the edge. 

Simple infrastructure capture

The integrated component library contains more than 75,000 predefined devices from all manufacturers in photorealistic representations to speed up capturing and planning the infrastructure. All devices also contain detailed technical information.

Change planning and process management

Record and manage move, add, and change processes efficiently with the integrated planning functionality. Planned changes to the IT infrastructure can be efficiently controlled via process and order management using flexible workflows and transferred directly to service providers for commissioning. After implementation, transfer the new actual status directly into the infrastructure repository.

Server and cloud infrastructure management

Planning and documentation of modern server landscapes, including physical and virtual servers. Cloud infrastructure elements can also be recorded.

Physical and logical network structures

Representation and management of physical and logical network structures, including IPv4 and IPv6 address management, VLAN and WLAN management.

License and contract management

All software products, software installations, applications, and instances, together with the associated licenses, relationships, service contracts, and other information, can be planned, documented, and managed in a central system.

Visualization and analysis of data

Analyze, visualize, and evaluate the documented infrastructure data in a variety of ways to better understand correlations and gain new insights.

Connection to other systems

Bi-directional data exchange via interfaces means FNT’s repository can be used as a data source for other systems and applications, and it can also be enriched with information from them.

FAQ: Hybrid Infrastructure Management

Why do I need a Hybrid Infrastructure Management tool?

Managing today’s diverse and distributed IT environments without a Hybrid Infrastructure Management tool is increasingly inefficient, risky, and costly. As businesses operate across on-premises systems, public/private clouds, and edge environments, Hybrid Infrastructure Management tools become essential for maintaining control, consistency, and agility.

It delivers visibility and control of modern infrastructures spread across multiple locations and platforms and provides actionable insights into cloud usage, licensing and subscriptions to help optimize cost.  

What are the benefits of a centralized Hybrid Infrastructure Management tool?

Many of the documentation tools that companies have used to date, such as Excel spreadsheets, or in-house dashboards can only provide answers to individual questions on the IT infrastructure, while traditional tools struggle with leased infrastructure and SaaS. Few - if any - of these options provide a complete and transparent view of the entire infrastructure.

Although cloud providers offer their own monitoring tools and dashboards, their benefits are limited. If companies subscribe to cloud components from one provider, it is usually unknown which processes and applications they are used for. If several cloud providers are used, the overview is inevitably lost. But it is precisely this transparency that is essential for managing a modern, hybrid, and digital infrastructure.

That is why an improved overview of the deployed IT infrastructure, whether cloud or on-premises, which only a centralized hybrid infrastructure management tool can provide, is urgently needed.
