With the addition of new devices, multiple application delivery methods, and higher bandwidth communication methods, networks are becoming increasingly complex. At the same time, they are vital: carrying the information that, literally, is the business. Companies need to ensure that the network is robust and stable, that it is capable of surviving node failures, and that technology rollouts like cloud migrations improve performance rather than cause problems.

SteelCentral NetPlanner enables companies to plan and design multi-technology, multi-vendor networks with complete lifecycle support including network data import, baseline analysis, cost-effective network change planning, survivability testing and configlet generation for push to network devices.

SteelCentral NetPlanner helps carriers, ISPs, government agencies, and enterprises facilitate service and technology deployments. The solution provides complete lifecycle support including network data import, baseline analysis, network change planning, survivability analysis, and configlet generation to apply changes to devices.
