Customized
Scripts
"The Automater" canned scripts are a
powerful standalone tool, however there may be times when you have
very specific automation needs. This includes IOS regression test automation, automation of network troubleshooting procedures,
or
automation of any other computer networking equipment that has a
Command Line Interface (CLI) or backend TCL interface (e.g. IXIA,
Agilent RouterTester, Smartbits). Net-Sense provides this as a
Consulting Service.
Why shouldn't we just create the custom
scripts "in-house"? With the foundation of the scripts
all ready developed by Net-Sense, new scripts can be created much
faster and cheaper than developing them in-house. The same
techniques and procedures that are used for the "canned scripts" are
re-used for custom scripts along with the required modifications.
What Net-Sense can build in a few days may take an
in-house development effort a few months!
What else is Net-Sense "bringing to the
table"? Networking and
Protocol Expertise! One of Net-Sense's
core competencies is Internetworking. Building automation
scripts for networking requires expertise in "internetworking" AND
programming. In many cases, you can state the script
requirements and we'll research the technical information and then
put the automation script together. Typically this requires
two individuals and a time consuming process. The network
engineer who writes the script/automation requirements and the
programmer who develops the script.
Net-Sense can do it faster and cheaper!
