Many businesses that have their own data centre, comms room or use colocation will have some kind of asset list or rack plan detailing the position and characteristics of each device in each rack, in each location. If they do not, then they will find it difficult to make any changes to their infrastructure or respond to issues with individual devices.
For those businesses that do have rack plans and assets lists. Over a period of time these become inaccurate and eventually completely obsolete (often without anyone at the business noticing until it is too late). This has many causes, the most obvious being human error (e.g staff forgetting to update assets lists when replacing or moving equipment).
Comtec can provide a regular and professional update to your asset management information as often as required which will give your business an accurate and understandable point of reference for any changes that they are planning or emergencies that need to be reacted to.
As many of our clients find that they need to re-address their asset management multiple times every year as well as services such as cable management and equipment cleaning.
