Deploying networks ‘as designed’
I cannot stress enough the importance of deploying networks ‘as designed’ and preventing network configurations drift. NetYCE has provided this networking functionality already for many years for all our L2 and L3 networks; long before the market started to talk about it. And in a fully vendor agnostic way. Especially in today’s world, to make network virtualisation a success, it’s a must that underlay networks are 100% stable and programmable.

Service Provisioning with OSS/BSS integration
Usually, the provisioning of B2B services is done manually by collecting service details from different OSS and BSS systems and then manually configuring devices. With NetYCE it is possible to automate the generation and activation of network- and service configurations to modify and activate services (eg. L2/L3VPN) for customers without any error, irrespective of network vendor, footprint, or design. Fully API and GUI based.
Auto Discovery & Network Reconciliation
For any effective process in your organization to work, you first have to know the actual state of your network. This is where auto discovery comes in: it provides a comprehensive and up-to-date insight into your network, your devices, relevant software, configuration information etc. This needs to be an ongoing process, where any change in the network is automatically detected and reconciled according to your standards.
Automated Design Validation
Most organizations have monitoring software in place but are still struggling with critical errors in their daily operations. Our experience is that, despite having robust network designs, you can still have devices wrongly configured in the network. Reasons vary: power outages, human errors, customers’ actions etc. With Automated Design Validation you know the actual configuration state and if this is compliant with the way you designed it to be.
