Infrastructure management & monitoring
Software that makes connected infrastructure understandable.
Infrastructure software connects information from equipment and systems with the people and processes that operate them. Useful monitoring begins with a clear model of what is being observed. Orelink develops software for the management and monitoring of networks, equipment and IT infrastructure.
Make the system visible
Monitoring requires a considered view of the infrastructure. The relevant components, relationships and operating states should be represented in a way that supports technical understanding. Collecting more information is useful only when that information has a defined role.
Data sources, measurement methods and equipment integrations are selected around the intended infrastructure. Each integration has a defined interface, operating context and validation scope.
Connect equipment and software
Equipment integration depends on the interfaces that devices expose and on how their information is interpreted. Consistent representations help connect device-level details with a useful system-level view.
Orelink’s hardware, networking and firmware expertise provides context for this work. The relationship between an equipment interface and an operational application can be considered across disciplines.
Design for operational understanding
Management software should make important states and actions understandable. Information hierarchy, technical context and the boundaries of control matter as much as the underlying data exchange.
The functions included in an application depend on its intended users and responsibilities. Monitoring, configuration and other management actions should be specified individually so their behaviour can be tested.
Validate the integration
An infrastructure application needs to be evaluated with representative devices, data and operating conditions. The limits of the test environment should remain visible when interpreting results.
Orelink offers software under licence, through custom development and as part of equipment-based products. The appropriate delivery model and any ongoing service arrangements are determined for the particular engagement.
