It is a fact that networks can be adapted and changed to accommodate operational
requirements as well as achievement of business goals. It is inevitable that
as the network changes, so does the increasingly complex configuration.
BT
iNet's Configuration Management service collects the current configuration
from all network devices and stores them within a secure repository. This simple cost-effective service ensures we
have access to past device configurations following inappropriate, malicious
or accidental configuration changes. This cost-effective solution also provides
a method of identifying audit and control issues through identification of
unauthorised changes. Where our client also has BT iNet’s Maintenance services,
all replacement network hardware would be despatched pre-configured, significantly
reducing down time. This service will provide protection for the network especially
in an environment with continual change and is therefore deemed critical to
success. The deployment of this service would also free internal support staff
from elements of day-to-day work.
