Services Engineering Services The decision on deploying a network solution is only the beginning of a long arduous process. Various components of the network are shipped either by a single vendor or by multiple vendors, depending upon the complexity of a turnkey solution. As these components arrive, they need to be installed, configured, connected and tested before the network solution can go live. The smoothness of this process depends upon excellent project management combined with in-house technical capabilities or those of a trusted partner.   Polynate offers pre-engineering services to configure various network elements based on the chosen solution architecture. Usually, command-line-interface (CLI) or network management platforms are used to provision components and services. Since these are proprietary, critical people resources and product knowledge is required to configure each network element, so that it can interwork with other network elements in the solution. Due to complexity, it is also an imperative to have deep standards expertise to understand how various technologies, standards based or proprietary, will work together. In addition, custom tools and scripts may need to be developed to facilitate future maintenance of the network solution.   Ideally in combination with its Testing-as-a-Service (TaaS)™ offering, Polynate can pre-engineer the network solution, thus ensuring that all the groundwork is completed for a successful turnkey solution. Depending upon the strategy, pre-engineering can take place prior to or after equipment arrives on-site, by working closely with the various stakeholders, including customers, vendors, integrators, and third parties. Also in combination with its custom software development services, Polynate can develop customized software, scripts, tools and plug-ins as required to successfully integrate pieces of the solutions for network roll-out and maintenance as we engineer the network™.   Contact Polynate to learn more
