DCS Announces OptiWatch(TM), First-Ever Truly Intelligent Fiber Connectivity Cable Infrastructure Solution; Data Centers Now Able to Better Comply with Sarbanes Oxley, Avoid Risks and Maximize IT Staff Productivity.DALLAS -- Data Center Systems (DCS (1) See also DSC. (2) Digital Cross-connect System) A network switching and grooming device used by telecom carriers. See digital cross-connect. ), the leading innovator in connectivity, today announced availability of OptiWatch(TM), its latest intelligent fiber optic cable Noun 1. fiber optic cable - a cable made of optical fibers that can transmit large amounts of information at the speed of light fibre optic cable transmission line, cable, line - a conductor for transmitting electrical or optical signals or electric power infrastructure solution for tracking and managing data center connections in real time. OptiWatch(TM) is the latest version of DCS' intelligent fiber system, formerly marketed as IFS/9000 and OptiManager(TM). The redesigned product is designed for companies that need total control of their complex data center connectivity. OptiWatch(TM) intelligently manages the physical connections for the diverse hardware within data centers providing essential tracking and reporting. "There is no other system on the market that gives real-time 1. real-time - Describes an application which requires a program to respond to stimuli within some small upper limit of response time (typically milli- or microseconds). Process control at a chemical plant is the classic example. , end-to-end information for each physical connection within the data center," said Kevin Ehringer, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of DCS. "Implementing an intelligent solution like OptiWatch(TM) improves disaster avoidance planning and reduces the costs and time associated with inefficient, non-intelligent cable infrastructure systems." Moreover, OptiWatch(TM) provides companies an audit trail of the physical connectivity in their data centers, which supports Sarbanes Oxley compliance. "DCS and its intelligent solutions have delivered ongoing value to our data centers," said Bob Lembo, Data Storage Engineering Manager, Albertsons. "Our ability to know the status of our connectivity in real time is essential to effectively managing our MAC (moves, adds and changes) activity, and ensuring we're able to recover quickly from outages." OptiWatch(TM) is a turnkey See turnkey system. solution consisting of patch panels A group of sockets used to connect incoming and outgoing lines in communications and electronic systems. Patch panels allow for manually wiring the connections with small cables (patch cords), rather than automatic switching. , cables and management software. With OptiWatch(TM), every move, add and change is tracked in real time. Management is alerted to improper
