Keep Nlyte up to date automatically in real-time

As useful as DCIMs are, they are dependent on accurate and real-time data. Without both, DCIMs can unknowingly report misleading asset location and environmental data. The Nlyte Connector for RF Code Asset Manager fuels Nlyte with 99%+ accurate asset tracking and chain of custody data.

“Joel Stone, (Former) Vice President of Global Data Center Operations at Cyxtera, shares: 'Because we are a co-location operator, many of our customers are focused on their SLAs. With RF Code, we now have the most accurate data we need to meet our SLA requirements without impacting the customer’s environment.'”

“An Administrator at USAA shares: 'I don’t ever want to explain to my VP that an infrastructure management tool that we’re spending $100K a year on is not accurate enough. It has to match reality, and RF Code gives us that certainty.'”

Benefits of Integration and Synchronization

By implementing the Nlyte Connector for RF Code, your organization will be able to replace error-prone, manually entered asset location data. Easy to install and configure, the Connector can eliminate unnecessary costs, errors, and risks.

Data flows in both directions, whereby RF Code's platform automatically keeps Nlyte asset location data up to date in real-time and consistent with the physical assets on your data center floors.
