Information technology. Automated infrastructure management (AIM) systems. Requirements, data exchange and applications. | Status: Current

1 Scope This International Standard specifies the requirements and recommendations for the attributes of automated infrastructure management (AIM) systems. This International Standard explains how AIM systems can contribute to operational efficiency and deliver benefits to

1. a) cabling infrastructure and connected device administration,
2. b) facilities and IT management processes and systems,
3. c) other networked management processes and systems (e.g. intelligent building systems),
4. d) business information systems covering asset tracking and asset management together with event notifications and alerts that assist with physical network security.
