Key Benefits - Port Wastage
porttracker will show you where you have spare capacity by keeping track of last used times as well as highlighting ports that have never been used.
With a data centre switch port costing in excess of £300 per port and access ports £100 per port, candidate ports for recovery are instantly identifiable by porttracker based on when a device was 'last seen'.
Given the costs involved, this feature alone can easily make porttracker pay for itself by simply identifying accurately the inherent waste that develops in any dynamic network environment and reduce the requirement for new switches when existing switch infrastructure has capacity.
porttracker can improve accuracy and efficiency of IT operations staff - people are better at patching in new ports than unpatching old ones! Whilst porttracker's ease-of-use makes it possible for more faults to be resolved by support staff; freeing senior support operatives to concentrate on more serious problems or planned project work.
