Network management software APC SFTWES3505Y-DIGI

APC SFTWES3505Y-DIGI is a cloud-based, vendor-agnostic network management solution designed to provide continuous monitoring and visibility into physical IT infrastructure. The platform supports multi-vendor devices and offers centralized inventory management, graphical trending, and a unified console that can be accessed from browsers and mobile devices. The solution includes encrypted communications, automatic updates and backups, and features such as auto-discovery, alarm consolidation and benchmarking to help maintain uptime for local edge and distributed environments.

Advantages

The software delivers 24/7 remote monitoring and real-time event notifications to reduce response times and mean time to repair. Its extendable architecture allows capabilities to grow via node and application license keys. Encrypted communications use a 2048-bit RSA certificate and 256-bit AES for data in transit, and the EcoStruxure IT Gateway connects outbound over port 443 to specific cloud endpoints. Centralized alert repository, custom reporting and automated updates simplify administration and ensure the platform remains current.

Suitable for

• IT operations teams managing distributed or edge physical infrastructure
• Data centers and colocation facilities requiring centralized visibility
• Enterprises seeking multi-vendor monitoring of SNMP, Modbus and Redfish devices
• Organisations needing automated discovery, benchmarking and asset inventory

Key specifications

• Deployment: Cloud-based, vendor agnostic
• Security: 2048-bit RSA certificate; 256-bit AES encryption in transit
• Connectivity: EcoStruxure IT Gateway outbound over Port 443 to cloud IPs
• Device support: SNMP, Modbus, Redfish and other networked devices
• Features: Remote monitoring, alarm consolidation, auto-discovery, benchmarking, graphical trending, custom reporting
• Management: Centralized inventory and alert repository, automatic updates and backups

How to use

Deploy the EcoStruxure IT Gateway on a host within your network to enable outbound connections to the cloud service. Use the unified console from a browser or supported client to perform auto-discovery of manageable devices, configure monitoring thresholds, and assign node or application license keys as needed. Configure contact preferences to receive real-time event notifications and set up custom reports and scheduled backups. Regularly review graphical trend data and assessment scorecards to prioritise remediation.

Usage recommendations

Place devices that do not require public IP addresses on an isolated private network to reduce exposure and conserve public addressing. Keep gateway and client components up to date, and use the assessment and benchmarking features to identify and focus on devices that require attention before issues escalate.
