CommScope Acquires iTRACS


Bangalore: To further expand the solutions available for supporting enterprise customers with intelligence and infrastructure management, CommScope has acquired substantially all of the assets of iTRACS Corporation, a global leader in open, enterprise-class data center infrastructure management (DCIM).

iTRACS, previously a privately-held company principally located in Tempe, AZ,  innovates in open physical infrastructure management with a 25-year track record of helping enterprises improve operational efficiency, maximize capacity utilization, reduce costs and optimize the business value of their infrastructure investments. iTRACS solutions are deployed globally in some of the world’s most complex data centers and infrastructure environments. More than one-third of its customers are in the Global 500/Fortune 500, with 1.6 million square feet managed in one customer’s site alone.

The acquisition will strengthen CommScope’s position in infrastructure management, enabling CommScope to provide one of the most comprehensive and automated infrastructure management platforms. It will provide customers with an industry-leading, best of breed infrastructure management portfolio to help them optimize the strategic value of their interconnected infrastructure and keep it continuously aligned to the needs of the enterprise.

“Together with iTRACS, we can provide business enterprises around the world with the broadest and best possible solutions for designing, managing, monitoring and planning data center infrastructure,” said Kevin St. Cyr, senior vice president of Enterprise Solutions, CommScope. “iTRACS Converged Physical Infrastructure Management will build upon CommScope’s imVision solution to position us with a platform that we believe will bring to our customers best-in-class network and power infrastructure documentation and asset management. This open architecture platform, coupled with a 3D visual modeling that is second to none in the DCIM market segment, provides a complete visual representation of the entire physical ecosystem, including energy consumption, thermal conditions, network connectivity, power connectivity, and can incorporate additional statistics like server performance and storage capacity.”

DCIM is a rapidly growing infrastructure management solution that drives strategic value for the enterprise. As a DCIM leader, iTRACS CPIM provides a holistic view of the entire physical ecosystem and dynamically understands how a change or failure of a single device in the ecosystem affects the performance of all other devices and conditions in the environment. The platform allows users to see, understand, manage and optimize these dynamics continuously in a real-time visualized 3D environment.

CommScope funded the acquisition from cash on hand and funds available under its revolving credit facility.
