The most critical asset to a Service Provider is the network infrastructure itself. An efficient and intelligent network design allows the roll-out of infrastructure to connect to customers quickly while optimizing network resources to remain cost-effective. To do this requires an accurate and timely representation of the network and its resources.
Fastwire’s Network Inventory solution provides an accurate and complete inventory of a network’s physical and logical resources, relationships, capacity and services that spans across multiple vendors and technologies. With physical network modeling, Service Providers are able to have an intelligent and efficient network design by identifying customer locations and physical constraints (imposed by geographical conditions or city regulations). Information of the physical network is also invaluable for marketing personnel to obtain network access information and for maintenance staff to ascertain geographical location of faults. The logical network modeling tools of Fastwire’s solution allow the planning and deployment of network capacity, bandwidth allocation and circuit assignment.
The Fastwire Network Inventory solution utilizes Fastwire’s S2Net telecommunication software suite S2Net-Inventory, S2Net-Automation and S2Net-ActiveNetwork.
