TCNAMS - Training Center Network and Asset Management System
Background
TCNAMS is a product offered by FCSI that leverages years of successful
development of GE Energy's Physical Network Inventory (PNI). PNI is currently
being successfully utilized by the electrical and telecommunications industries
to manage their complex networks. Not unlike the electrical and
telecommunications networks, training centers are comprised of the same types of
elements found in those industries.
Key Benefits
- Debugging - The current method of debugging your training center is a
hit or miss endeavor. Identifying the real cause for several non operating
components can take hours or days. All of which means unnecessary downtime
of crucial training systems. TCNAMS helps you identify the cause of the
problem sooner by doing multiple traces along the power, cabling, and
ethernet networks and identifying the common points of failure.
- Load Balancing - Are some of your components or training systems not
performing up to specifications? It could be caused by overloading the
bandwidth or power supply. TCNAMS gives you the ability to identify where
you training center components may be pushing the infrastructure past its
design specifications.
- Planning - Are you confident your training center can handle those new
simulators on order? You can use TCNAMS to model the new equipment before it
comes in and determine if your infrastructure can support it. Using the load
balancing functionality, you can include the new equipment into your network
model before it arrives and identify any overloaded components.
Options
- Work Plan Generation - You can use TCNAMS to identify a step by step instruction
work plan to attach your new equipment onto the training center's network.
