  1. Lab Optimizer v1.3 Intelligent Lab & Resource Management

  2. Spirent Automation Strategy Intelligence Common Components Partners Integrations iLO fits here

  3. Customer Problems • Track inventory • Remotely • In large volume – populate database efficiently • Down to the port level • View status: RAM, CPU, SW, FW, etc. • View utilization instantaneously • Achieve efficient utilization • Around the clock • Around the world • Across multiple users and teams • Using various topologies • Viewed and defined graphically • Applied dynamically using L1 switches (MRV, etc.) • Reserved and scheduled

  4. iTest Lab Optimizer – Introduction • Software product • Server-based virtual machine implementation • just use a browser to access • Primary purposes are to: • Enable tracking of equipment, down to port level • Achieve better utilization of equipment • Give better visibility for management into utilization

  5. iLO Key Functions & Workflows Key Functions & Workflows • Inventory Management • Topology Management • Dynamic Topology Activation via L1 (MRV, OnPath) & L2 Switches (Cisco) • Scheduling & Reservation of Resources and Topologies • Team and Equipment Organization • Utilization Reporting

  6. iLO Inventory Management iLO answers these questions: • What equipment do I have? • What cards are in each chassis? • What software and firmware are installed? • How is it physically connected? • Who is using what? • How efficiently is it being used?

  7. Topology Creation & Management iLO let’s you • Create topologies using a graphical drag and drop editor • Publish themto iLO • Organize them into folders

  8. Topology Activation iLO let’s you activate topologies • Dynamically, using • L1 switches: MRV, Onpath, etc. • L2 switches: Cisco, etc. • Immediately or in the future

  9. Scheduling & Reservation iLO let’s you schedule • Individual resources • Topologies of resources connected together • In different time frames • Immediate • In future • Using an Outlook-like calendaring interface • Finding alternate equipment • Finding alternate time slots

  10. Team & Equipment Organization Create • User groups • Equipment Groups • Associate user groups with equipment groups • Or don’t use groups at all 

  11. Utilization Reporting See, at a glance, what’s being used • Right now • In the future • In the past

  12. iLO v1.3 QS iLO NEW FEATURES • Configuration Loading • Conflict Management • Web-based Topology Editing • Physical Topologies • Topology Editor (in iTest) enhancements • Inheritance, search, multi-select • Auto-discovery • Scale and Performance Improvements We are in the passing lane!

  13. iLO Key Differentiating Features Extensible Management Drivers Standards-based ReSTful API Auto-discovery Integration with MRV, OnPath Web-based Implementation Configuration Loading

  14. iLO Key Differentiating Benefits • Access from any machine with a browser • Only one central installation required • Use on Windows or Linux • Manage and track inventory • Use auto-discovery to rapidly auto-populate inventory database • See utilization at a glance • Schedule reservations • Dynamically re-configure topologies via L1 or L2 switches – no re-cabling! • Enable equipment re-use across teams, across sites, around the clock • Easily resolve schedule conflicts with alternate timeslots or equipment • Configure equipment • Save time by automatically loading configurations or images onto routers • Integrate into lab using API • Quickly see equipment utilization down to port level
