Systems Solutions

EXPAND YOUR HORIZONS

In most network or data center operations the focus is on managing and monitoring the direct resource, the servers or network components. In most cases, Building Automation Systems (BAS) and other infrastructure systems like Environmental, Power, Telco Alarm Management, Access Security, and life safety are managed and operated by other organizations.

Expand your horizons to look beyond the server or network components by having The S4 Group integrate your BAS into your Network and Systems Management framework. The result is an enterprise wide solution allowing you to manage your servers, your network, and your building infrastructure as one interrelated mission critical system.

Key Benefits

Utilizing information available from Telco alarm management systems in the BAS eliminates redundant instrumentation of buildings and provides more effective automation strategies.
Providing information from your BAS to your SNMP-based Enterprise Network and Systems Management framework like Aprisma Spectrum, CA Unicenter, HP OpenView, IBM Tivoli, and others gives the data center or hosting site operator a complete picture of the status of the facility.
This additional information allows the operator to make preemptive and preventative decisions instead of having to take reactive steps.

Systems Architectural Design and Definition

One of the S4 Group, Inc.'s major strengths is our ability to see the big picture, both technology and business issues, while still being able to address technology details to whatever level necessary. This unique combination of skills enables us to quickly assess a customer's problems and issues, help them to document their requirements clearly, and concisely, and translate those requirements into an enterprise system architectural design and definition of specifications.

Network, Systems, BAS, and Alarm Management Systems Integration

Typically, we've seen specialized, and often vendor specific, systems deployed in each of these areas. The S4 Group can integrate your portfolio of management systems into an enterprise solution that improves your utilization of both people and technologies.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support

SNMP is the subset of the Internet communications protocols that supports the management of routers, switches, hubs, and other communications devices. Recently, SNMP technologies have been selected by many vendors for the management of servers, desktops, applications, and other IT resources. The S4 Group, Inc. can integrate devices and management platforms utilizing SNMP standards-based protocols into an Enterprise Building Automation System or Industrial Control System
