Modern businesses operate in increasingly complex IT environments, spanning data centres, cloud platforms, and hybrid setups. Managing these environments effectively requires more than spreadsheets and manual processes. Optimal offers a next-generation approach to IT asset and infrastructure management, delivering continuous discovery, intelligent mapping, and actionable insights to keep your operations efficient, secure, and audit-ready.
A Single Source of Truth for Your IT Landscape
Optimal’s state-of-the-art software continuously discovers and documents everything connected to your network hardware, software, services, and their interdependencies. This creates a real-time, accurate inventory that eliminates guesswork and empowers smarter decision-making.
Key Capabilities of Optimal Services
1. Automated Discovery & Dependency Mapping
One of the most powerful features of Optimal is its ability to automatically discover every device, application, and service across your IT environment. This isn’t just a static inventory, it’s a dynamic, continuously updated map of your infrastructure. Optimal goes beyond listing assets; it identifies how they interact, creating detailed dependency maps that reveal the relationships between servers, applications, and network components. This level of visibility is critical for planning changes, troubleshooting incidents, and ensuring business continuity. Instead of relying on manual spreadsheets or outdated records, your IT team gains real-time insight into the entire ecosystem.
2. Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM)
Managing a data center is a balancing act of space, power, and cooling. Optimal simplifies this complexity with intuitive visualization tools that allow you to model your data center in detail. From photo-realistic rack views to color-coded heat maps, you can see exactly where capacity is available and where risks may arise. This proactive approach helps prevent outages caused by power or cooling issues and ensures that every square foot of your data center is optimized for efficiency. With Optimal, you can plan expansions, consolidate resources, and maintain uptime with confidence.
3. Built-In IP Address Management (IPAM)
IP address management is often overlooked until it becomes a problem. Optimal eliminates the guesswork by providing a centralized, automated IPAM solution. It tracks every IP address in your network, supports IPv6, and even discovers DNS records automatically. Gone are the days of “ping and pray” to find available addresses, Optimal calculates subnets, assigns IPs intelligently, and ensures your network remains organized and secure. This level of automation reduces human error and accelerates provisioning, making network management far more efficient.
4. IT Asset Management (ITAM)
Optimal delivers complete lifecycle management for all your IT assets. From procurement to retirement, every device and piece of software is tracked in a single system. This includes warranty details, contracts, and compliance requirements, ensuring you never miss a renewal or audit deadline. Mobile-friendly QR codes make inventory checks fast and accurate, while automated alerts keep you informed about assets nearing end-of-life. By centralizing asset data, Optimal helps businesses reduce waste, avoid unnecessary purchases, and maintain compliance effortlessly.
5. Application Dependency Mapping
Modern applications rarely operate in isolation, they depend on a web of services and systems. Optimal automatically generates detailed dependency diagrams that show how applications interact with databases, servers, and other components. This insight is invaluable for planning migrations, implementing changes, or responding to incidents. When you know exactly which systems are upstream or downstream, you can make informed decisions that minimize risk. Optimal even provides resource utilization data, helping you right-size workloads for cloud environments and avoid costly over-provisioning.
6. Integrated Analytics & Insights
Data without context is just noise. Optimal turns raw data into actionable insights through powerful dashboards and reporting tools. You can monitor trends, track capacity, and even measure sustainability metrics like power consumption and carbon footprint. These analytics enable proactive planning, whether it’s upgrading aging hardware, reallocating resources, or meeting compliance standards. By highlighting assets nearing end-of-life or identifying underutilized resources, Optimal helps businesses stay ahead of challenges and operate with maximum efficiency.
