Planet® Inside Plant

Planet® Inside Plant represents Planet IRM's foundation as it maintains all telecommunications infrastructure (voice, data, video, electrical, fire, safety, etc.), cabling, equipment, and connectivity information within each building in a relational database.

Planet IRM is an open system, supporting ODBC compliant databases like Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, and Sybase.

The integrated visual interface provides access to up-to-date information about what's in use and in inventory. This information links to design tools that maximize our customers' investment in their network infrastructure and assets. Planet IRM also provides the user with the ability to separate layers, systems, and networks within the infrastructure allowing the user to customize views to meet their needs. The centralized database can then be divided according to local administration with global governance, securing portions of the database according to the user's authorization. The ability to visually identify and trace physical paths reduces problem resolution time - saving you money and delivering improved customer satisfaction.

Cable Management
Planet IRM offers a robust and detailed cable plant management system that allows users to manage and visualize all cables according to their actual physical routing and connectivity. Planet IRM has the ability to trace dark and unterminated fiber as well as manage all cables at the pair level. It eliminates unnecessary cable pulls and tracks usage as your organization evolves for future growth.
