Information technology - Automated infrastructure management (AIM) systems - Requirements, data exchange and applications

This European Standard specifies the requirements and recommendations for the attributes of automated infrastructure management (AIM) systems. This European Standard explains how AIM systems can contribute to operational efficiency and deliver benefits to a) cabling infrastructure and connected device administration, b) facilities and IT management processes and systems, c) other networked management processes and systems (e.g. intelligent building systems), d) business information systems covering asset tracking and asset management together with event notifications and alerts that assist with physical network security. This European Standard specifies a framework of requirements and recommendations for data exchange with other systems.

Informacijska tehnologija - Avtomatizirani sistemi upravljanja infrastrukture (AIM) - Zahteve, izmenjava podatkov in uporaba

Ta evropski standard določa zahteve in priporočila za lastnosti avtomatiziranih sistemov upravljanja infrastrukture (AIM).
Ta evropski standard pojasnjuje, kako lahko avtomatizirani sistemi upravljanja infrastrukture pripomorejo k učinkovitosti delovanja in so lahko koristni za:
a) upravljanje kabelske infrastrukture in povezanih naprav,
b) naprave ter postopke in sisteme za upravljanje informacijske tehnologije,
c) druge omrežne upravljalne postopke in sisteme (npr. pametni stavbni sistemi),
d) poslovne informacijske sisteme, ki zajemajo sledenje in upravljanje sredstev, vključno z obveščanjem o dogodkih ter opozorili, ki pripomorejo k varnosti fizičnega omrežja.
Ta evropski standard določa okvir zahtev in priporočil za izmenjavo podatkov z drugimi sistemi.
