The service incorporates next-generation network management technology that focuses our remediation on incidents with the greatest potential impact on your operations.

Better confi guration management

We understand how important it is to our customers to keep track of and better control the confi guration fi les which manage all their network attached devices.

The devices and processes that make up your network are not static. The confi gurations must be changed from time to time as software is updated or as greater or lesser levels of openness are required on parts of the network.

We keep a running record of changes to your device confi gurations. This means signifi cant time savings for your busy IT team, in the event that network problems arise and you need to consult or roll back to an earlier confi guration. We will also raise and escalate an alert on any unauthorised confi guration changes.

eircom AssureNet is designed to deliver you a business-centred, holistic view of how your enterprise network is performing.

We identify your business-critical functions and build your service around it, including our monitoring, management and remediation activities, as well as all reporting.

At the beginning of our managed network service engagement with you, we work closely with you to understand each of your critical business functions and their relative priority to your organisation.

Our engineers then create a detailed map of all the network components that support those business functions, including software applications, switches, routers and all pertinent network connections.

We continually monitor all components in the map, proactively alerting you when issues arise and commencing remediation in line with your business priorities.

All our monitoring, management and remediation activity is tied to the critical business functions you defi ne.

We also continually measure performance of your critical business process by running synthetic transactions across your network - for example, simulating an activity such as a customer credit card transaction – which we monitor for speed and quality end to end.

The benefi t to your organisation is better continuity in your critical operations and assurance that we’re focussed on the parts of your business that matter most to you.
