Information to Power Your Network Decisions
Presented by Randall Frantz, Director of Telecommunications and LBS, Esri
This presentation will show how GIS based tools leverage web services and other available data sources to create the information you need to plan, design, construct and operate your network. The quality of your decisions is based on the accuracy and availability of network and operationally useful information. Unfortunately, most network managers and engineers have access to data but not information. In today’s connected world there is no shortage of data but in order to turn data into useful information, it must be accessible, organized, and structured to give it context. Server based GIS systems greatly simplify the process of accessing, visualizing, analyzing and communicating data from internal and external sources to create the rich information you need to guide your network decisions.

Streamlining the Deployment, Monitoring, and Maintenance of Ethernet Services
In this webinar we will examine how a flow-based architecture allows the provisioning of hundreds of QoS-based services from a single port, and how you can develop scripts to automate the provisioning of services and implement ‘always-on’, vendor-agnostic testing with multiple, simultaneous non-intrusive loopbacks. Once developed, providers can use scripts as the default configuration for remote devices greatly streamlining deployment, troubleshooting, and modifications. We will also consider how user-configurable policing and shaping capabilities enable automated adaptations to dynamic network environments.
