At the core, EasyDCIM is about one thing: making data center management less confusing, because we all know that complexity is the enemy of progress. As technology races ahead, so do our ways to accomplish that goal. The latest EasyDCIM v1.13.0 release throws a few more tools into the mix, including the MikroTik driver and new data segments on assets, to keep your daily business operations both simple and well-regulated.
VLAN Management for MikroTik Devices
If you are working with MikroTik devices running RouterOS, your workload is about to get a whole lot lighter. Guided by user insights, we have upgraded our Switch Management extension with a new driver that makes this process easier to handle inside EasyDCIM. No more jumping between systems or command lines to make changes – everything is now accessible from one place.
Here’s what you can do:
- Set up a new VLAN or clear up old configurations.
- Assign VLANs to specific network ports, making it easy to segment, visualize, and control traffic across your network.
- Shut down network ports or brought them back online.
- Adjust port speeds based on network needs to fine-tune performance on an ongoing and dynamic basis.
Why does this matter? As networks grow in size and complexity, having a clear overview of your VLAN structure is crucial for optimizing traffic and security levels. Now, you can quickly identify which VLANs are assigned where, helping you avoid any misconfigurations that could lead to performance issues or downtime.
Ports & Sensors: Smarter Network Hardware Management
When you’re managing multiple devices, especially in larger setups, finding a specific port or sensor can sometimes feel like looking for a needle in a haystack. To address this, we’ve introduced two new sections in the Assets menu: Sensors and Ports. Instead of navigating through each device’s summary, these new sections present a clear, searchable list of all ports and sensors in your network.
How to make the most of this update?
- Instantly filter and search for specific ports or sensors – no more guessing which device a port is tied to!
- View monthly traffic graphs to track network usage and identify any potential bottlenecks or irregularities.
- See at a glance summaries of how many ports are currently active or inactive, helping with quick diagnostics.
- Perform key actions – be it enabling, disabling, editing, or deleting – on any port.
Why is this important? In large-scale environments, managing hundreds or even thousands of ports and sensors can become overwhelming. By bringing these elements together in one interface, you no longer have to dig through multiple layers of menus just to find what you need. Instead, the information is centralized, with filtering tools that help you zero in on the specific hardware you’re looking for. This is particularly useful when troubleshooting or planning future upgrades.
Stay Notified with Telegram Stream Integration
Being notified of critical events as soon as they happen is crucial in any network environment, but constantly logging into the platform to check for updates can be inefficient. That’s where our new Telegram stream feature comes in.
By integrating EasyDCIM with Telegram, you can receive real-time notifications directly on your phone or desktop, making it easier to stay on top of important events without being tied to your dashboard. Whether it’s system alerts, monitoring results, or network issues, you’ll get updates pushed straight to your Telegram channel.
Why Telegram? Telegram is not only widely used but also known for its speed and security. Its lightweight nature makes it ideal for receiving fast alerts, which is why we chose to pair it with EasyDCIM. As one of the fastest-growing communication platforms, it’s well-suited for administrators looking for efficient and reliable communication tools.
Keep exploring! The updates you see here, plus more in EasyDCIM v1.13.0, are all built around one central goal: making your job easier. Whether you’re assigning VLANs to MikroTik devices, keeping a close eye on ports and sensors, or staying effortlessly connected through Telegram notifications, these new features bring clarity and control to your data center like never before. It’s all about cutting down the routine so you can focus on the bigger, more strategic goals. Are you in?
