The services you require will vary according to your specific environment, business applications, and future plans. Typically, customers who require post-installation services, such as testing of LAN-side devices or router configuration changes, are forced to hire a second vendor, resulting in additional expenses and increased potential for technical error. New Edge offers a flexible way for you to customize these services to reduce costs and maximize efficiency. We call these Custom Configuration and Remote Engineering Services.
Whether you've purchased a single T1 or a 500-location network, you may require services that are not part of the traditional service definition for that product. Custom Configuration and Remote Engineering Services eliminate the hassle of managing multiple vendors, and help you get your network applications running quickly and efficiently. We perform custom equipment configurations for a flat, per-location fee and remote engineering services for an hourly consulting fee.
- Customizable, documented configuration
- Reduce costs by eliminating maintenance contract fees
- Reduce time-consuming coordination of multiple vendors
- Decrease potential for technical errors
- Specialized teams with expertise in retail deployments, kiosks, and other unique environments available
Common examples of Remote Engineering Services include:
- Non-Standard Initial Router Configuration: For a per device fee, New Edge Networks technicians will configure customer premisis equipment with a custom configuration of up to ten policy statements.
- Router Configuration Changes: You can request that we remotely change the configuration of equipment on your premises, whether it's equipment owned and managed by New Edge Networks or equipment you own yourself. Customers often use this service to add static routes, renumber their IP scheme, or make other customization requests after initial service deployment.
- Firewall Management: You can request that we remotely adjust your firewall settings after initial service deployment (such as opening or forwarding a port), or that we help you develop stateful firewall policy.
- WAN/LAN Interoperability Support: You can request that we remotely test the interoperability of Local Area Network (LAN)-side applications. Customers often use this service to further triage or isolate problems once we've determined that they are not Wide Area Network (WAN) issues.
- Assurance Testing: You can request that we remotely test the configuration or performance of circuits to ensure they are performing as designed or working correctly with your applications. You may also request onsite testing by a New Edge Networks Field Engineer.
