Inventory management for enterprises and NRENs

Effective inventory management for the delivery of agile services across complex, multi-site networks

Enterprises and NRENs (National Research and Education Networks) build communications networks for a range of needs, such as connecting retail chains, ATMs and healthcare devices.

These require consistent availability, high-speed connectivity, and meet diverse service requirements. Comprehensive inventory management is the key to delivering these services – and for the efficient integration of new technologies.
