Access Networks Joins ihiji invision Partner Program

ihiji has announced the addition of Access Networks to its manufacturer partner program.

Access Networks is a provider of enterprise-grade plug-and-play networking solutions for the automated residence. Together, the two companies deliver a visible solution by integrating ihiji’s invision system into Access Networks’ preconfigured network solutions. This allows the integrator to more easily visualize vital data stored in network devices without needing to directly access the client network or log into each device separately. In addition, A/V and automation system event logging can now be correlated with network event logging.

Hagai Feiner, CEO of Access Networks, says, “The ihiji invision systems allow for the capture of valuable data from our solution and presents it to the integrator via the invision web interface. The result is that the integrator has all the information they need at their fingertips.”

As a result of this partnership, all Access Networks systems installed on projects using ihiji invision will arrive preconfigured to work with ihiji’s monitoring service. Integrators can expect reduced installation time and increased efficiency in project management, according to the companies.

"ihiji invision exists to provide integrators a proactive service solution that increases revenues, decreases product failure rates and results in highly satisfied clients,” says Mike Maniscalco, ihiji vice president of technical operations. “It serves as the eyes and ears of the integrated system, providing real-time status of each connected device and enabling prompt and efficient resolution."

New features from the integration will include in-depth monitoring of all switches and routers, the ability to turn PoE ports on and off, continuous network health monitoring, fan status, device uptime graphs and bandwidth usage.
