New Features of RiT's PatchView for the Enterprise V5.0

Fully Automated Provisioning: PV4E V5.0 features the industry's most advanced Automated Provisioning tool, with robust features designed to automate every phase of the provisioning cycle from planning through implementation and all the way to management and maintenance. Designed for ease-of-use, the system uses an intuitive drag-and-drop graphical interface, with all activities, from planning, resource allocation (including cabinet assignment and power consumption tracking) and work order creation through implementation, carried out in full compliance with flexible user defined rules and policies. The Automated Provisioning tool is easy to integrate with other work process and management applications to support enterprise-wide customer processes

- New provisioning operations: in PV4E V5.0, one-click support has been added to simplify and foolproof common multi-step operations including Swap, Remove, Change and Enhanced Add on top of the existing move and add operations.

- Cabinet provisioning: PV4E V5.0 automatically recommends cabinet assignments to device provisioning work orders according to user-established rules and policies

- Power support: PV4E V5.0 supports dynamic power control devices and power consumption management requirements associated with provisioning assignments

SitePro: an advanced handheld application designed to help onsite personnel - whether engineers or IT managers - bring PV4E's powerful management capabilities onto the network floor. Whether in the datacenter, communication room, workspace floor or at a remote location, SitePro makes it easy to access and manage online information regarding tasks, provisioning, connectivity and assets and to communicate with the administrator, thus improving efficiency and productivity.

Device Authorization: to protect against unauthorized access to the network infrastructure, PV4E V5.0 compares connected devices against a defined authorized list, generating an alert when unauthorized devices are detected and making it easy for the administrator to authorize them when relevant.

Integration: the PV4E Software Development Kit (SDK) is continually enhanced to enable customers and integrators to utilize powerful PV4E capabilities for other applications and processes.
