Network Configuration and Assessment (NCA)

Infrastructure assessment and configuration management is a key component of Network/Security operations.

Typical challenges faced by both network and security operations include:

• Device discovery tools from vendors are narrow in scope, missing devices/details from competing vendors
• Operations teams spending too much time and resources on maintaining device lists and archiving configuration details
• Probable overspend on support contracts and devices that are no longer in operations
• Lists and details of devices within data centers, campus locations, cloud and remote sites were inaccurate and incomplete

• Inventory discovering all infrastructure devices on premise, in data centers, at remote sites and in the cloud from all major vendors
• Comprehensive devices details captured
• Complete Topological view of devices, connectivity and alarms

These features of NCA solution helps achieve these outcomes:

• Operations team has single source of truth – saving time and resources
• Money saved on unused devices/contracts
