Molex Premise Networks network management infrastructure

Molex Premise Networks has released the latest version of MIIM, an intelligent infrastructure solution focusing on enhanced network management at the physical layer. MIIM continuously monitors and maps the physical layer, facilitates work order management and enables patch guidance for technicians utilising patch panel LEDs for port indication.

In addition to MAC and work order management, the solution detects network device connect/disconnects regardless of power or broken cables and Event Driven Discovery provides constant information on network devices connected to the work area outlets. 

MIIM is also simple to implement and manage by utilising industry-standard components (no special construction patch cables, interconnection cables or sensor strips are required), thereby reducing the incremental cost of installation.

MIIM offers true centralised management of the channel not just in the cabinet/comms room, but right out to the work area regardless of LAN topology.

Featured enhancements include support for multiple languages, email and Active Directory integration and support for switch clusters.
